Today at 9 a.m. the 32nd Berlin Marathon started on Straße des 17. Juni. The reporter took every pain to deliver his best coverage of that great and popular sports event in which more than 40,000 Runners participated. So instead of sleeping into the afternoon (it’s Sunday, even God feels sleepy and He wasn’t even out on Evening Six) the reporter made it all the way onto his balcony, expecting the first runners to arrive.
