    🤣🤣He remembered in the last 30 meters that he had bet on Persson's victory with an online betting provider...😅🤣🤣🤣
  • @Eng522
    he didn't just ease up......he almost stopped.
  • @leeomurchu1213
    Surely he did this as some sort of protest. 🤷‍♂️ He didn't pick up the pace as they passed as you'd expect to happen when he realised his mistake.

    I ran a crazy curve in my 200 heat at my high school junior year conference meet and was so far in front when I hit the straight I wasn't sure if anyone was still running. I didn't drive to the line at all and just coasted but only my team mate caught me. I had nothing to key off of. About as fast as this race, actually. This guy did like Shericka did in Tokyo but even worse. I don't think he saw Shericka's race. A good race for young runners to learn from.
