The Political Asylum

Did anyone watch this on TV this morning?

Martin Lela of Kenya won the men's race and Irina Mikitenko of Germany won the women's event.

Britain's David Weir won the men's wheelchair race whilst the women's wheelchair event went to Switzerland's Sandra Graf.

One out of 4 is something I suppose.

There were the usual crackpot charity entries including Spiderman, Santa Claus and a Robot who expects to finish by Friday. Rolling Eyes

Probably the most interesting entry was six Masai warriors from a tribe in Tanzania who were trying to raise money for their village.

I caught a bit of it. I saw the end of the wheelchair bit. Two poor buggers crashed their chairs just a few feet from the finishline. Was very dramatic.
