33 years old, Roman, with an outstanding account; proving to whom who did not send for her at the Atlanta Olympic Games he was very wrong. Franca Fiacconi dominates the world most famous and crowded marathon, that of the Big Apple and gives to the azure sporting a lacking tassel: none Italian athlete has ever succeeded in winning at the finishing line in Central Park. Fiacconi thrashes the rivals and settles the new long run Italian record. When she arrived , before receiving the freedom of the city by Rudolph Giuliani,  she kneels and kisses the asphalt in a papal gesture. For her, triumphing in the world most important marathon  after having undergone the offence of being set apart at the Olympic games, tastes as that. A godly present mixed to the finally succeeding in marking throughout a simple and sensed gesture her own field. Strongly wanting to make remind her for the next Sydney Olympic games .
