Saw the weirdest thing on the telly this morning. Knew a couple doing Lisbon marathon so said I'd tune in for a laugh. They were showing repeats of a French lad who came home in 10th place I believe. Here's the thing, or things. He was slipping as if he were on ice, fell flat at one stage. Now the paving stones were slippery looking and wet but his Adidas super shoes were not handling the ground at all. It gets weirder though. He had a phone in his hand, which I take it someone had handed him but still, wtf was he doing with a phone?!? He was about 50 metres from the finish, maybe 100. It's possible that the conditions where he was, right over by the barriers with the spectators, were worse than the main finishing area, but Christ it was NOT a good look, neither for the Adidas nor the course itself.
