You guys pumped this up all year like Sanders has a prayer. Well, he was a complete non factor. Not even in the hunt. Goes home devastated.
I can hear the excuses now
“This was not the race I had in me. I proved that in my training races.”
“The Germans were drafting.”
“My nutrition...”
I'm late to this party but are you really gloating over a a hard-working athlete having what must have been a really disappointing day after a year of extraordinarily hard work and dedication?
Classless. Unsportsmanlike. It has no place in this sport.
I like Sanders, but not as much of a dedicated fan as some. I thought his making such drastic diet/body changes after having such a great race last year and coming up only a tiny bit short was a mistake. I'm sorry it did not work out for him. More great performances from more great athletes only improves things for us fans and spectators.
