      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

                                        That seems harsh on the guy who kicked him out, he did walk into it a bit....

                                          True but I reckon I'm good enough to wave my hands around aimlessly and make a hash of trying to kick him.
