If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

Crazy finish.
Nathan Martin has a great story. Went to a smaller school and wasn't anything outstanding in high school and college, but has worked his way up the rankings while coaching and teaching high school.

New video came out today showing Kenya’s Michael Kimani Kamau going off course for a few meters before doing a U turn to get back on course. There was confusion, and distraction with a supporter carrying a Kenyan flag running next to him, right at where the lead police motorcycles, official cars and bicycle leads exited the course 400 meters before the finish. There was course marshals trying to direct the support vehicles, and the flag bearer to the exit, and with all the confusion Kimani followed an exiting police motorcycle. Kimani probably lost 8-10 seconds.
