        Massive effort by Robertson.

        I loved that he didn't just go out to run a time, but tried to stick with the lead group for as long as possible and at least put himself in line if a miracle happened to wander along.

        He'll have paid for that at the end - collapsing over the line and looking in a bad way - but, he's absolutely buried himself.

        If they handed out medals for effort, I'd give him a gold.

          Last Honduran runner dragging himself in now. A determined effort!

            One of the Japanese runners looked very shoddy. Left leg wasn't working properly, the wheelchair came out pretty fast

                            I could possibly peak at that for a few seconds!
