    The Silver Medal winner, Paul Tegrat of Kenya, was a real gentleman. The winner just beat him out in the last split-second. Instead showing frustration, he immediately patted the winner on the shoulder, smilingly. IMO, that takes good sportsmanship.

    As an Aussie, this was my favourite performance by a NON-Australian of the Sydney Olympics. What a champion, what a legend. 🥇

    The fact he had an Achilles tendon injury and still won shows the fitness and more importantly the mental strength he had
