Ιστορικό.Πώς η Κάθρην άνοιξε το δρόμο συμμετοχής των γυναικών στο Μαραθώνιο

In celebration of today's Boston Marathon, we're sharing the dramatic story of the first woman to officially run the historic race. Kathrine Switzer's experience is a revealing illustration of the barriers that trailblazing women athletes had to overcome and of how far girls and women in sports have come in only a few decades. 

In 1967, Switzer was a 20-year-old college student at Syracuse University when she registered for the race using her initials, K.V. Switzer. Not realizing that she was a woman, who were barred from participating in the Boston Marathon for over 70 years, race officials issued her an entry number.

During the race, marathon official Jock Semple attempted to physically remove Switzer from the marathon after discovering she was female. Other runners, including Switzer’s boyfriend Tom Miller, blocked Semple and she was able to complete the marathon. Pictures of the incident and the story of Switzer’s participation in the marathon made global headlines.

After the marathon, Switzer became deeply engaged in efforts to increase girls’ and women’s access to sports and she and other women runners finally convinced the Boston Athletic Association to drop their discriminatory policies and allow women to participate in 1972. By 2011, nearly 43 percent of Boston Marathon entrants were female. Switzer also helped lead the drive for the inclusion of a women’s marathon in the Olympic Games -- a victory which was achieved at long last with the first women's marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Οι οργανωτές δεν συνειδητοποιούν ότι ήταν μια γυναίκα, οι οποίες είχαν αποκλειστεί από τη συμμετοχή στο Μαραθώνιο της Βοστώνης για πάνω από 70 χρόνια. Έτσι οι ιθύνοντες της κούρσας εξέδωσαν αριθμό συμμετοχής. Κατά τη διάρκεια του αγώνα, ο υπεύθυνος του Μαραθώνιου Jock Semple επιχείρησε να απομακρύνει φυσικά την Κάθρην από το μαραθώνιο μετά την ανακάλυψη ότι ήταν θηλυκό. Άλλοι δρομείς, όμως,συμπεριλαμβανομένου  και του φίλου της Tom Miller, μπλοκάρουν τον  Semple και έτσι,κατάφερε να ολοκληρώσει το μαραθώνιο. Εικόνες από το περιστατικό και την ιστορία της συμμετοχής της Κατερίνας, στο μαραθώνιο γίνονται  παγκόσμια πρωτοσέλιδα. Μετά τον μαραθώνιο, η Switzer's έμεινε βαθιά προσηλωμένη στις προσπάθειες για την αύξηση της πρόσβασης των κοριτσιών και των γυναικών στον αθλητισμό και αυτή και άλλες γυναίκες δρομείς τελικά έπεισαν το Boston Athletic Association για να καταργήσει τις διακρίσεις  τους και να επιτρέψουν στις γυναίκες να συμμετέχουν το 1972. Μέχρι το 2011 σχεδόν το 43 τοις εκατό των συμμετεχόντων στο Μαραθώνιο της Βοστώνης ήταν γυναίκες. Η Κ.Σ. βοήθησε επίσης να  για την ένταξη της μαραθώνιο των γυναικών στους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες -.
