Also caught the end of the women's marathon. Completely staggering how they can maintain that kind of pace for two hours, but it must be a positively awesome experience to enter the stadium on the final stretch.

What's more amazing is that they were commented as running at a particularly slow pace given the prime weather conditions ("they're running a 92 degree pace rather than a 72 degree pace"). Full expectation was that the second half of the race would prove to be extremely fast given the conservation shown in the first half, but no one even bothered to try and match the runaway (who wasn't an errant threat either; she'd tried this in the past with multiple successes. The others ought to have known better.)
Ha, there was a SimCity 4 song being played in the background during one of the men's individual finals in gymnastics.
