    Bronze in the 5000 m bronze in the 10000 m (48 hr ago) and now gold in the marathon. That Dutch lady deserves a DB

                        Much quicker than that.

                        About 3:23

                          I was going to say that. But I thought my maths had to be wrong. Because sub 3.3 minute Ks is ridiculous

                              I struggle to run sub 3.3 minute 100 metres. (Might be exaggerating a tad)

                                  The Olympics were a slow burner for me. Wasn't excited leading up, didn't watch the opening ceremony. But as always, when the games started I was drawn in. So many amazing stories, so many amazing performances, triumph, the agony of defeat, grace in defeat. The Olympics really are the ultimate reality show. I can't wait for 2028

                                        Squash is for 80s stockbrokers

                                        Losing wrestling and boxing is disgraceful. The nation directly behind us on the medal table will be furious.

                                          Just had a drone shot of the final women's marathon contestant from Bhutan still a few kms back. Echos of The Distance by Cake, with the crowd on that part of the circuit having gone home.

                                          The fans get up and they get out of town
                                          The arena is empty except for one man
                                          Still driving and striving as fast as he can
