          Could see Wilde running out of gas there. Had there been another 200m to the finish I don't think he'd have held silver - so in the end a bloody good achievement. Amazing from Yee to find that extra gear tho.

              That was brilliant from Yee

              Converted a 15 sec deficit to a 6 sec winning margin between 1:41:38 and 1:43:33 :astonished_face:

                  Incredible effort from Yee, so close to being the same for Wilde, lets face it a great race from him too.

                    Wilde ran a great race. Made Yee beat him, and that's all he can ask for

                          That was a bit gutting. I feel for Wilde but from the looks of it he left it all out there on the run. Can't feel too bad for him.

                            Wilde climbing stairs at the end.

                            He just needed to have one more little surge to disillusion Yee's chase.

                            Wonder why Yee let him get so far ahead.

                                That's how you time your run

                                Silver nothing to sneeze at.

                                Great race

                                  Maybe Yee was sticking to his own race strategy? With about a km to go he looked cooked. Fuck bloody

                                    That silver takes us to 12th on the medal table.

                                      The commentators said Wilde flew his family over. They have never seen him race overseas. Pretty awesome
