Do elites ever collapse on the ground after a race? They always seem to be fine after a race, like they were only going for a walk in the park. |

I saw a few go down after their races at the trials. |

El Guerrouj after winning his first Olympic gold, though really he got down to pray, then kind of rolled over. http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/DrOeaj4Y6kw/Olympics+Day+15+Athletics/7nZJzXzwI-K/Hicham+El+Guerrouj Then somebody tossed a flag over him. http://www.iaaf.org/mm/photo/competitions/worldchampionships/22853_w400xh600.jpg Kelly Sotherton after the heptathlon 800m in Beijing: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/05/26/article-2150402-134F7530000005DC-177_634x387.jpg There's a guy on the ground behind Lagat here: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photo/_new/pb-080817-track-cannon.photoblog900.jpg There's a guy on the ground in the background here: http://img11.beijing2008.cn/20080913/Img214601046.jpg Several guys on the ground here: http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/RhZk7Nq82dq/Olympics+Day+14+Athletics/4IGiog8jsc7/Damjan+Sitar There was a good picture similar to the last one with what looked like it might be the entire Beijing 1500m final on the ground, but I wasn't able to locate it. |

I think sometimes it's a matter of the type of race they ran. The typical, championship, slow tactical, sit and kick race prolly won't take a lot out of an elite. But, if it's a fast race from the start, who knows? |

Salazar was given last rites at the 1978 Falmouth race Yuki Kawauchi says he is willing to die in every marathon effort and most often will collapse at each finish many, many others |

Bolt was down for the count and obviously in a lot of pain after his 200m wr. |
