    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

    Nuts.

    What an achievement.

    Am I correct in saying the winner ran the marathon at an average of less than 4 mins a km?

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

    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
