I’m hanging on, waiting for the Bhutan runner to finish. It’s not over until it’s over.
I’m still watching and I love it. This stuff nourishes me every four years.The Tanzanian runner John Akhwari in 1968 Marathon attitude, - “My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start the race; they sent me 5,000 miles to finish the race.”
Akhwari had a bad fall around 18/19 km mark and hurt his shoulder badly and dislocated his knee and clicked it back in. He jogged, walked and ran the rest of the 23/24 kms and finished in about 3 hrs 25 mins well over an hour after the winner. He got to the main stadium about 30 minutes before the closing ceremony started. Another Bud Greenspan Olympic doco story embedded in my mmeory banks.
Kinzang Lhamo of Buthan recorded a 3:00.33 at the 35km mark. She has never run a marthon. Has no PB.
Talking of PBs the Nepalese runner Shantoshi Shrestha did a PB in 2hrs 55.
I was screaming at him to just check your post for the details.Haha Rob Walker quotes John Stephen Akhwari
I think its The Pierre de Coubertin medal for True Spirit of Sportsmanship.They give out some sort of Olympic spirit prize at the closing ceremony. She might get it.
I think its The Pierre de Coubertin medal for True Spirit of Sportsmanship.
I know the IOC hand out this medal but not sure if they do it at the closing ceremony or its a medal that they hand out ad hoc, but something is handed out during the closing ceremony.
