I saw a tiny bit of that. Couldn't get over the different size and shapes of them all. Very cool.

I once ran a marathon myself you know, so im kind of an expert. Where's the balloon dude?

Women also have advantage of putting 'ice down their top' female Eurosport commentator has pointed out.
also someone said women's running outfits are akin to underwear earlier but tan marks show many don't wear the underwear running kit all the time.
women get the shit end of the stick sports kit wise (e.g. tennis, camogie, hockey, volley ball etc etc)

walking 17 miles in 4 hours 50mins a few times is as sporty as i ever got.

as far as the 'lympics go the marathon is the ultimate for me. not the best event to watch but the hardest to win and something that most people can attempt.

It's kinda like the hunger games. Like if they can stay alive for another 20 mins they should get medals

Been watching most of the women's marathon alright, it's pretty brutal for sure, but lemme tell ya, I saw the men's 50km walk the other day, and I don't think it gets any more brutal than that shit! Loads of the lads looked like they were about to die and could hardly see from the amount of sweat coming off them.

That lady going out with 4km, like not that i could run 4km, but jesus they must be pushing so hard when a pro like that had to ditch

 

[Cormcolash]

Yeah it was the same in the men's walk too, the world champion dropped out of that one as well just like the women's world champion quit the marathon. You gotta wonder how that Israeli one could even stay standing after having to pull up.

This yank might get second here, but can't see her catching that other Kenyan in the last 2k

Yeah jepchirchir was sorta looking kinda chilled out while everyone else is in survival mode. Sorta think american lady could get silver alright

 

[Cormcolash]

Kinda looks like the Kenyans will hold on for the 1-2, but the one in second does look bolloxed compared to the American

 

[Cormcolash]

Ha even the one in first looks bolloxed now but she's still blown the other 2 away

is she limping a shade?

 

[Cormcolash]

Dunno, commentators were just saying that's her style, looked like she was having a hard time in the last k there if you ask me

 

[Cormcolash]

Haha I wonder if the yank could have won it if it had lasted another few kilometres

 

[ann post]

Could be the gold medal energy but jepchirchir sorta looks like she's got another 10km in her

 

[Cormcolash]

See some Irish one just finished 10th there...

 

[ann post]

the last 2-3 alll had togo straighht onoto wheelchairs at the finish

 

[Cormcolash]

The women's golfers are all these youthful athletic ones for the most part, loads of them are class looking actually. And then there is the Chinese one, who is a fucking hero and just looks like someone's ma.

 

[Cormcolash]

It's actually getting interesting too, this American one has been way the fuck in front for the whole 4 rounds and now the chasers are finally putting a bit of pressure on her, the New Zealander is just 2 behind now.

Nevermind the golf the womens climbing is on and my god.
