I loved this show.  I got hooked when they were showing a marathon of the first 5 episodes.  I watched it faithfully from there out.  I loved the concept for the show and seeing what the designers would create.  I loved Chole from the begining and I was rooting for her the whole time.  I didn't think she would win it so I was so happy when she did.  She did such a great job designing clothes that women would wear and she put so much of her heart and soul into everything that she made.

You may be thinking of Dorando Pietri in London in 1908.\n\n\nHere is what the official Olympic web site has to say about it:\n\n\nWhen Dorando Pietri entered the stadium at the end of the 1908 marathon, he was completely unknown. When the news of what happened in the next few minutes spread around the world, he would become an international celebrity. Dorando, as he came to be known, had run in the Intercalated Olympic Games of 1906 in Athens, but he did not finish. In 1908, Charles Hefferon of South Africa built a huge lead, but he tired dramatically and Dorando passed him one mile from the stadium. When Dorando appeared at the entrance to the track, the crowd cheered him vigourously. But immediately it became clear that something was wrong. Dazed, Dorando headed in the wrong direction. Officials directed him in the right direction, but he collapsed. Helped to his feet, he collapsed again…and again and again. Finally another runner, John Hayes of the United States, ran into the stadium. The officials lifted up Dorando and helped him across the finish line. He was disqualified for receiving outside aid, but his plucky effort made him famous. The Queen of England presented him with a special gold cup; Irving Berlin wrote a popular song in his honour; and his exploit sparked a marathon craze that spread around the world. It also greatly increased interest in the Olympics.

A News search for Kenya shows stories about Government in crisis, female athlete Lucy Wangui winning a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, problems with the tea crop and Africa's largest cocaine haul. There is nothing about mercenaries however so it doesn't appear to be true.

I don't remember exactly, but it has something to do with guy in Greece running that far to give the news that they won the battle/war.  He got to the city (Marathon possibly) said, "Nike," which means victory, and died.

I did and I loved it. Team Anderlina! lol. No but seriously this interview was complete with such honesty and realism and care for the circumstances that others are facing in this world and depicted in such a moving way that appeared to inspire those watching to join in on the cause. Anderson and Angelina are by far some of the most nicest, decent, and excellent humanitarians the world of entertainment and media will possibly ever come to know. :)

I saw the 1st season.  I now taped the marathon and I have to watch it yet.  I will tape the new shows so that I can catch up on the old ones.  Then I will watch the new shows.  It's awesome.
