The men's marathon has been decided by a fraction of a second.
Its fascinating how despite representing a range of different countries and having moved to those countries at different times in their lives and under differing cricumstances, a quick wikipedia look at the top 10, the majority come from Ethiopia or Eritrea.
I bet with further inspection they come from the Great Rift Valley or have family history there.
I really want a Charlie Kirk hater to post a video clip of Charlie being vile or hateful
I wasn't a big fan, but I'd seen a few clips of his videos. He seemed intelligent and friendly, but rather self assured and too Christian for my liking
Since his death I've seen more videos than I could ever watch. But where I have watched he was never hateful, or in any other way vile
He has a self or Jesus assured arrogance that he's right, but he's also kind and friendly to everyone he debates
I struggle to understand how he could have possibly inspired such deadly hatred
I am not a Kirk hater. His politics were very far from mine, but I don't think he was a genuinely evil man in the manner of a Trump or Miller.
And while you characterisation if him isn't a million miles from the truth, it's also wrong to pretend that he was the kind of right wing paragon some describe.

The thing that really annoyed me about Charlie Kirk was that - after demonising transgender people as mass shooters - he was asked how many school shooters had been transgender, and he replied:
Too Many
He wasn't interested in the truth. He was interested in pushing his angle.

He was a guy who had no other job than debating politics at a student level. He dropped out of college after one year, to become a full time rock star political activist.
When you're in permanent debate mode, and have been for your entire adult life, you're going to say some stupid stuff.
Another example (and again, I don't believe he was a racist like a Fuentes or a Miller):
