Alice Finot's 4th place is incredible, but another chocolate medal to add to the collection  Italy we're coming for you in the "almost" medal table!

This kind of feels like  Maloney yesterday: I mean, 4th is amazing, but...you know...so close

Canada has both of you beat, unfortunately 

 

15th 4th place finish today at these Olympics, and I’m sure there’s a bunch of 5th’s and 6th’s that I can’t be bothered to count.

Tentoglou wins again, was never in doubt. This man is an absolute legend. Congrats to Greece on a gold medal

LOL @ grandma Finot suddenly running a european record. SHE DIDN‘T RUN SUB 9:45 BEFORE TURNING 30.

I would bet my life that she glows in the dark.

Yeah, bummer of a final it may have been, it does not make it any less impressive

Well she wasn’t really that close 

 

Maloney was, and she had a chance at a historic medal for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, while for Finot it would’ve been one of France’s 50 medals. 
 

Although, no one expected her to come anywhere close to a medal, and Africa always dominates the steeplechase events so it still would’ve been cool

I always notice Tentoglou’s skin is as pale white as my own. But I live in Ireland and he lives in sun soaked Greece

At least you win lots of real medals. Canada has 18 total medals and 15 4ths. That's a crazy breakdown.
