Good grief, Gebremeskel. He ran about 500 meters during the last lap after getting trapped on the inside, he gave the win away.

Mo loves Saturdays. Both of his Olympic titles won on Saturdays.

Would've been interesting to see what he'd be able to do otherwise.

I for one long for the 1956-1960 races, with Kuts and Halberg showing true guts.

The IAAF should disqualify the entire field for "lack of bona fide effort" lol

You got that right.

Don't think he'd have had the gear needed to win but he might have medaled.

I thought Iguider was going to win with a lap to go.
