M\u00e1quina is a Senegalese, whom everybody has met or heard about in Guinea-Bissau, but no one knows his name. They nick-named him \u201cM\u00e1quina\u201d because he spends six hours running every day.<\/p>\n
Although he doesn\u2019t stand a chance to become part of the athletic team of Senegal, because of his age; neither the one from Guinea-Bissau, since he isn\u2019t from there; M\u00e1quina carries on training, in the hope that he might be considered some day. Thus, he must be ready.<\/p>\n
His boundless and excessive training hours account for him being called a \u201cmadman\u201d by the locals. \u201cYou run too much. You should stop,\u201d they tell him. Instead of disputing the locals M\u00e1quina just says \u201cit\u2019s normal\u201d because \u201cthey aren\u2019t acquainted with the sport\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
