Being in the front alone for one and a half hour and still keeping up for a bit now. Surely that raises some eyebrows!

Diniz nearly joins the group.....and then doesn't.

I can get the point, but feel way worse about the men's junior event in football taking up even way more quotas. Even though I know I guess the event is important for the Olympics, unfortunately. Hard to believe since I barely know any actual sports fan who actually watches it after the opening ceremony, but general audience usually doesn't consist of actual sports fans, so yeah

Oh. Well, two medals would be a more than excellent result there (one would even be good), three would be incredibly surprising, but who knows

In which event, if I may ask? Because in the 20km they had three, including one who would absolutely have a total fail again, and in the 50km they merely have outsiders Can't imagine they have more than one marginal outsider in the women's 20k neither.

Was a Japan clean sweep even remotely expected by anyone though?

Diniz made up 15 seconds from 10km to 12km, at least the pace is not the issue.

Legendary Jesus Angel Garcia still in the pack in his 8th consecutive Olympic 50km

No wonder they're not doing some nice lap around the city

Even more worrying, this appears to be natural.

Lawrence of Arabia has gotten himself a major problem.

Yeah that makes zero sense, especially given the fact that there is timing every single kilometer...

And then back come the mental pictures of the sponge that went into his pants yellow and came out brown.

Diniz going into the bathroom, here we go

As long as his intestines are better....which I really shouldn't think about since I'm having breakfast

Luo raises his eyebrows!

Seriously, website only gives splits for every 5km?

The main event of the Olympics

Two heptathlon medals, I did NOT expect that two days ago Vetter, sure, but Oosterwegel?!

"Why would I be bothered that I finished 8th? This only motivates me to be better for Paris! I did what I could, and it is what it is." Before basically collapsing during the interview (although the interviewer kept asking until finally offering him some much-needed water). And after a minute or two, getting back up and continueing the interview "Yeah man, this pain is typical...400 is completely sprinting and dying...., but I love it, this is how it is."

The number of people who run more fluently (in a comparable pace) than Gardiner on a semi-sprint distance can easily be counted on one hand I assume, what a born runner

Wait for the Bonevacia - Vetter - Hassan - Hassan quadruple coming up Barely can go wrong!

Advantage of being a big Western nation I guess, since only they have this luck, I read.

Belgium celebrating the gold, but video referral coming in
