牛人身綁4部iPhone4 微博直播馬拉松

An inventive marathon runner has created a curious contraption to help him share every step of his race experience with thousands of online supporters. Joseph Tame, 33, plans to run the Tokyo marathon on Sunday hooked-up to his 'iRun', a homemade gadget which will stream the entire 26.2 miles live to social networking sites.

馬拉松選手留給我們的印象標籤有很多，比如：健美、大汗淋淋或者矯健等等，但是我們卻從未把馬拉松選手與智能手機劃上過等號。33歲的馬拉松選手Joseph Tame在籌備週日的東京馬拉松比賽時“頗富有創新意識”地將這次比賽設計成“智能手機馬拉松”賽事，他將4臺iphone還有2臺智能手機綁在身上，爲了全程（26.2公里）轉播他的賽事過程。

Media producer Joseph said: 'I really love mobile technology and wanted to create a citizen's broadcast of a major sporting event, such as the marathon. 'Watching it on television doesn't give a true impression to the viewer whereas this will make the experience much more real.'

33歲的馬拉松選手Joseph Tame說道：“我是一個‘智能手機控’，身爲一名馬拉松選手，我想創造一個以運動員身份、從運動員的角度，向電視機前關注體育賽事的觀衆朋友們提供儘可能多的體育賽事情況的更新報道。以前都是別的媒體報道體育賽事，我覺得，參加賽事的運動員自己來報道賽事這種形式更能體現體育的價值。”

The self confessed 'digital activist' said: 'I'm under monumental pressure to complete this marathon now, but it'll be great to share the experience with my followers. 'If people tweet me during the race, I'll respond and thank them for their support.

馬拉松選手Joseph Tame還說道：“這是我頭一回以這種形式參加馬拉松比賽，我感受到了前所未有的壓力。但是，我覺得這是一種和支持我的人分享馬拉松喜悅的最好的方式。哈哈，還有，如果在我跑步的過程中，有微博上的網友向我發信息，我會及時回覆，並感謝他們的支持。因爲，這是最好的互動形式，全世界的人都能親身體會到馬拉松的樂趣。”
