Robert Heffernan should also get a medal. In 50km walk.

 

great great great thing, I am really happy for that, also for Tallent and his deserved gold

 

btw also Matej Tóth is now already 5th the same as Lucia Klocová in 1500m, both finished 8th in London but this time they are already both 5th

Yeah, and I remember OlympicIRL saying that it was very painful to watch the whole men's 50 km walk race just to get 4th place in the end. This is at least some kind of redemption.

but still there the sad feeling to not be allowed to celebrate and to taste all those emotions and sensations right after the race, because of some cheaters...which had all those emotions..

Time for the Half Marathon Worlds.

Sadly we're missing our 2 best women and one of our best men because of injuries.
