I remember that some time ago I read about an Ethiopian athlete, Abebe Bikila, who in the 1960 Olympics in Rome ran the 42 km marathon with his bare feet, before the astonished look of the world, managing to improve the world record at that time by 8 minutes, managing not only to go down in history for the new World Record but to be one of the few to run such a distance in an Olympics with bare feet.

Or the Indian Football team, who in 1948 participated in the London Olympics playing barefoot, the first participation after independence from the British Empire. _{For more information Here}

It also made me think that one of Bob Marley's passions was soccer, and that his health problems began with an acral lentigous melanoma, a form of cancer that originated in the first toe of his right foot, which a few years later would affect other organs and end his life at a very early age. Unfortunately.

Seeing the image made me think about myself, being barefoot was something I used to enjoy, now always with footwear, from early hours of the day until night, and the daily routine often prevents me from enjoying something as simple and basic as that. _{In addition to the cold floor in Bogota je je je je}
