Gyaanguru got it right.

By the way, I'm not sure how many people are aware of about this fact but in 1972 Munich Olympics, Nepali Marathon runner, Jeet Bahadur, was leading the race until 32 km mark ( the race is 42 km long ) but he had to abandon his race due to cramp muscle.

As it stands, Jeet Bahadur is the only Nepali athlete in the history of Olympics to have reached a position to win an Olympics medal.
