「推銷台灣」的癮

Via ETToday, Yichieh (Kevin) Lin became the first Taiwanese athlete to capture the top award in a super marathon Atacama Crossing 2004 in Atacama desert, Chile. This is a good example how an athlete reaches success through good supports from the society. He is mainly sponsored by ETToday and Bros Sports

Here are some media/blog coverage:
* Taiwanese runner wins Chile race
* Local runner takes first place in desert marathon
* 真男人是也。(updated)
* 寒漠超馬 林義傑勇奪冠軍(updated)
* 林義傑 不負贊助者期許(updated)

It's pretty exciting to read Kevin's stories and his homepage, too.

不過真正拿著國旗在撒哈拉沙漠接受各國選手崇敬的掌聲後，那種「推銷台灣」的癮，就上了身，我想從此之後，恐怕也無法戒掉。
