@act-crusader just saw a tweet that said we had finished 4th place five times. No wonder he's emotional
Yeah mate. Between Olympics, World Champs and other comps, they have found themselves in 4th a fair bit.
The emotion really spilling over with Mills, Ingles, Goorj.

4 x 400m men's relay.
USA win gold in a season best, but the biggest surprise are the Dutch, who win silver in only their second appearance in this event (1980 being the first). Botswana win Bronze, I think they said in an African record.

Lol. Basically I haven’t been watching the Olympics and of course I don’t see any New Zealand coverage so I’m way behind :-).

Apparently an Aussie out after 10km. Thought it was the Park Run?
In all seriousness, it must have been an injury. Getting one that early must be absolutely soul destroying.

Going for 2hrs10min. That is absolutely farking nuts.

His name, Kipchoge, is a Nandi language expression for "born near the grain storage shed.”
The possibilities are endless for that.

Kipchoge is a machine.
He's making this race look like one pro vs amateurs
