Break dancing "is an Olympic level sport"

“The Aussie B-girl Raygun dressed as a school PE teacher complete with cap while everyone else is dressed in funky breaking outfits has sent me,” added another. “It looks like she’s giving her (opponent) detention for inappropriate dress at school.”

We have 2 decent runners so might have a chance but Kenya and Ethiopia are probably favourites

jirre....

oke looks like he's having a fit...

The guys I was at school with in the 80s would have smoked these okes without even half trying.

Look at the skateboarding. Tony Hawk, Bam... somehow it feels like that generation would've ripped these guys a new one.

So the great Kipchoge is not having a good day. Hopefully just an off day a f not his age finally catching up with him

Is this the headband the Kenyans are using?

By using the power of evaporation, water or sweat is absorbed into the porous graphite material. That creates a 500% increase in surface area for evaporation. This amplified evaporation process pulls heat from the inside of the cooling pieces, which are in direct contact with the skin, resulting in a much more significant cooling effect.

Maybe. Maybe skateboarding was more impressive when I was a teenager.

So the Eurosport commentator said he reckons another 25 minutes of running left. We shall see...

Well it'll be a computer telling him but whatever.

Look I dunno a lot about marathons but apparently this is a brutal one with those hills and this guy breaks the Olympic record, beats no 2 but 21 seconds.

Great race!

South African Gelant 11th in the marathon. The other one (Mokoka) 27th.

He's apparently dead last in the marathon or he has quit.

Held his hip at some point right? Probably DNF - nothingness prove and only injury to gain. But you never know with these guys...

I think they mentioned he was reduced to walking pace at some point.
