The race was over and as usual, the Champion emerged. It was none other than Ruth who kept smiling from ear to ear as she slapped hands with the spectators while waving at some or blowing them a kiss.
Marro looked at her with a pale face as he couldn't believe what had happened during the race. He was so sure that he would be the first person to break this lady's winning run but who would've thought?
What happened was that after Marro passed her by a few inches, he felt very excited at the anticipated victory. Just as his joy was hitting the ceilings, he noticed that the lady had rushed past her with a terrifying speed and crossed the finish line which was just inches away from him.
He was so stunned to be angry and could only silently accept defeat and take second place for the umpteenth time. He was very disappointed at himself for going so close but not getting all the way.
