I enjoy participating in marathons with half walking and half running. Mentally challenging to say the least.

Do they have to run in a crowd?

No cares about anything with the word olympics in it now unless it is with the other word cancelled or postponed.

These selfish athletes doing as they do while everyone else is supposedly on restricted privileges is distasteful to say the least.

On the second thought, covid gives extra incentives to run in front of the crowd.. :)

"No cares about anything with the word olympics in it now unless it is with the other word cancelled or postponed."

Speak for yourself.

I suppose he was.... and me too, though he didn't know it...

What is with that picture? Is that the entire group of runners there? Was there a penalty for falling out of formation? There's an entire road! Use it!

All controversy aside for one moment, I have to say it's incredible to speed these runners go at. Half marathon in a whisker over 1 hour. Unbelievable! My best time is only 1 hour 21 minutes and that knocked me out!

COVID loves crowds, keep it up and we will have a mini India.

That'll never happen. The gov won't test that much and just keep the numbers down that way. Meanwhile, here on this site, there was an article reporting on how hospitals are so full that even Covid patients with serious symptoms are being turned away.. so we could VERY easily turn into India and not even know it.
