A 39 km the German Ringer is taking the lead with his compatriot Petros in second and the three Israelis struggling to keep up the pace and the veteran Spaniard still there and the Frenchman trying to get back to the leading group and remember the Frenchman fell down and lost quite a few meters this is becoming a very exciting race at the 39 Km point

Ringer looks so strong he runs almost like a 1500 m runner very powerful. The Frenchman Navarro in sixth place has become isolated from that lead group and unlikely to get back so right now in the lead group 2 Germans, 2 Israelis and a Spaniard for the medals.

Lamdassem, the 41 year old Spaniard, always runs flat on his heels and that surprises me that he can run so well with that type of style

Teferi and Petros fighting for the lead at 41 km with Richard ringer in the bronze medal position a few meters back and the Frenchman Nicolas Navarro moving back up to fifth place and passing the Spaniard Lamdassem.

Ringer finishing like a steam train and he has now passed Petros and clawing back the lead on the Israeli but it will be too late it will be the Israeli who wins in front of ringer and Petros but another athlete is coming up on the third placer.

Great victory for Ringer.
That naturalized fake Israelian should not have become european champion.

Ringer is 33 years old and congratulations to him that was one of the best marathon finishes that I’ve ever seen. Ringer is a real gentleman and he’s now helping his compatriot who just finished 16th but is suffering terribly from cramps and on the ground.

I actually agree with you about that but if we say anything against Israel the powerful left will come down on us like a ton of bricks so it is better not to say anything and in addition Israel would never be welcomed in the Asian championships or the Middle Eastern equivalent of the Asian championships so they have little choice and we already see that they compete in soccer in European championships and basketball also among other sports including swimming. I’m not sure what the connection is between these Israeli Jews and their actual ethnicity but I believe they are fast tracked once they come to Israel and show promise in athletics.

Ringer has very impressive track credentials and no wonder he runs like a middle distance runner because he is a former middle distance runner. The Germans are so tough mentally and I’ve seen this repeatedly especially in football soccer in the way they compete in European championships and in world cups. The German team as far as I know is one of the few teams in the world that can come back in the soccer championship being down at half time and winning and in addition in soccer in European championships and world cups if there’s a penalty shoot out I have never seen Germany lose.
1:50.11 (2013), 3:38.83 (2016), 7:46.59 (2016), 13:10.94 (2015), 27:36.52 (2018), 1:01:33 (2021), 2:08:49 (2021).

Ringer beats all of the ringers.

Teferi, of Ethiopian-Jewish descent, moved to Israel at the age of 14 with his widowed father. He was not a runner until a couple of years later, when his school decided that 'he must be good at distance events' and the rest is history. And you asshats are trying to portray him as a Bahraini-style 'mercenary'?
Would you have said the same thing if Petros, the great German hope, had won? Were Germany acting in their own 'sporting interests' in taking in a 16 year old refugee from Eritrea?

Shalom: You offer some interesting perspective about the Israelis. Can you also offer some perspective about the 5 other Israeli Ethiopian athletes selected for the marathon. Thank you. Beseder.

Profile of 2 nd placer, Maru Teferi. Is finishing second here in the European championships is going to help him with getting invites to major marathons throughout the world. Looking at his body shape he looks to be about the same size and weight as Kenny Bekele.I have a question here for Israelis reading this or others - what is the real connection between Ethiopian Jews and Israel and how did that situation come about?
Sorry if this question appears to be naïve and I know I should research it, but I haven’t done it so far.
