[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

My favorite story is Belgium's Mieke Gorissen, who finished 28th. She was 38 at the time of the event, and is not a professional runner - she's actually a high school physics teacher in a town called Diepenbeek, with a population of about 18,000. She had only taken up running as a hobby in 2017, and started in the 10,000m, rather than the marathon. I heard she only started marathon training about a year before Tokyo, and the Olympic marathon was only the third marathon she had ever done. Hence, her quote, "I made it!" when she crossed the line. And here she is, inside the top 30! This is the spirit of the Olympics, in my opinion.

Seidel is so cute and funny 😂 she did a great job and got her first medal on her first Olympics marathon 😱🤩

[@madelynnmae6657]

The marathons should give medals to top 10 finishers. There are so many athletes in the field and no heats (obviously lol).

[@povang]

Naa, thats entering 'participation trophy' territory. It would be disrespectful and dishonor the years of hard work these elite athletes put into their sport to be the best.

USA luckily or accidently gained the no1 spot?? Please tell me you're kidding..LOL Where have you been living under a rock? The U.S. has held the number 1 medal table spot for over 20 years! The U.S. has ranked number #1 for most golds an most overall medals for the past 7 summer Olympic games. Not luck at this point it's practically traditional..lmao!

Molly Seidel got the bronze even though she only ran two marathons before the Olympics.

US men runner Galen Rupp ran his second marathon in Rio 2016 and also won bronze. He also ran the 10,000m eight days before.

[@rayian5891]

How many marathons did Jepchirchir run before the olympics? 2 or 3 I think

[@brandonmroe265]

Meb Keflezighi was also on his third marathon at the 2004 games, where he won silver. Doesn't make their feats any less impressive, just worth noting that there's precedent for having big success early in your marathon career.
