Mo fell because he kicked himself

Did anyone else get the Seinfeld reference?

It looked like his back foot clipped the thigh of the guy on his right who was too close pushing it into his other leg then tripping him

Most of the 40-odd thousand in the NYC marathon seem to be able to run with people around without falling. Farah needs to realize he's not the only runner out there and adjust his loping style accordingly. Or take the lead.

Every other runner in the lead group looked back but the two white guys.

They were behind him. They didn't need to look back and see what happened.

Also, please ignore the pictures of Teg comforting Mo's daughter at the finish line.

Considering that Rupp has competed with a variety of apparatus, I wouldn't be entirely shocked to see Mo show up at the line in London wearing a bike helmet.

You know other runners would kick themselves because they fell, but Mo fell because he kicked himself.

I found this funny.

Soccer players diving to get a foul called when no one touched them.
