    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.

              Are you watching replays? That happened yesterday.

                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 :-).

                        He is number 3108, wearing a white singlet with Zebra like black wavy stripes. Natural hair colour, making him look like his twin brother.

                          Impressive run from him so far to be with the leading bunch at the halfway mark.

                            Spreading out a bit now. He will do well to finish top 20. Bloody hot and humid.

                              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.

                                    His name, Kipchoge, is a Nandi language expression for "born near the grain storage shed.”

                                    The possibilities are endless for that.

                                        Kipchoge just ran the last 5 kms at 3km/min pace. I mean what the actual fuck?
