More people pulled out of the midnight starting marathon than there are in the stands!

When 40% of the field pull out because of the heat, including the 3 Ethiopian athletes you know something is wrong!

Some official said the drop out rate in the marathons was equivalent to when it was held in Russia and somewhere else too... Sounds ridiculous to me though 32 degrees at midnight and running a marathon.

The Ethiopian coach said they wouldn't put a race on in that heat in Ethiopia!
Ridiculous venue!

King John Terry?

What sport is he competing in? How many colleagues wives can you shag while running the 10k?

He's not participating: he's just planning to climb onto the podium wearing some UK team kit.
