    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.

        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!

                                      if being knocked out gives you a medal, I've got a chance!

                                      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.

                                          I was trying to say I feel bad for the guy who got DQed. I agree you could present a viable target
