Not the first crash and burn for this guy. Hopefully he is alright…
Sarah Lorge Butler of Runner's World said he's all right and he did not go to a hospital.

Daniel Do Nascimento Idiot or Baller?

Baller

Did you see him collapsed on the road? Didn’t look like a baller to me.
The guy who won the race is a baller. The guy who didn’t learn his lesson from the Olympics is an idiot.

He might be alright physically but can he get his head right next time he races knowing he might drop flat on his face if he keeps pushing
21 -
He posted on IG that he' s alright and that the first half was good(translated from Google). So if that really was the plan, I' m leaning more towards the idiot side of things lol

Agree with this. He might have a really strong mentality so he can just shake it off, but a lot of athletes would need some serious time with a sports psych to work through that kind of collapse

You can’t ever achieve anything great without taking a big risk. That being said, you couldn’t have engineered a more perfect plan to blow up, than going than going out on world record pace, on a hard course, in bad conditions.
If he had hung on and won, setting a course record, we’d say he was a genius and it was one of the great performances of all time, much like Sami Wanjiru in Beijing. But he went for it and hit the wall hard, like many of us have.
Do Nascimento will be a much better marathoner for having shot for the moon and missed.
During 2017 world cross country championships, Joshua Cheptegei( not a big name at the time) went for it and hit the wall big time. Now he is the 5k and 10k world record holder and Olympic and world champion. Do Nascimento is going places!

Except that Joshua Cheptegei was aged 20 at that time not 24.

Seems like a bit of a drama queen.
Always puts on the theatrics once he realises the camera is on him.
He appeared to pull up fine, as though he was simply going to walk off the course, then hesitated and realised that he was on live television. He then proceeded to fling himself to the ground and lay face down as though he'd just been shot.
I don’t think that’s fair. I crossed the line today, normally, next thing I remember was being in a wheel chair headed to the medical tent.
shout out to the great medical volunteers at the line - hell of a job today!

Has someone really survived this? Would love to hear that story.
Jaws in the 007 movies did by landing on a circus tent. Seriously though, “Jumping out without a parachute” may be an exaggeration. There was Serbian stewardess who survived her plane exploding in mid air, and stories of some WW2 airmen, but they were in the wreckage, not free falling. Skydivers do survive their chutes tangling and not opening fully, but usually with serious injuries. There was a guy who did it purposely a few years ago as a stunt, but he was wearing a wing suit and had a specially designed landing area to cushion his landing.

I'm leaning toward PR wizard and baller. Looking forward to a major marathon victory and Spanish/Portuguese news headlines: RENACIMIENTO!

"Race officials later said he was OK and had not been taken to hospital.
"I was promptly attended by the race medical crew and I can assure you I'm already recovered," Do Nascimento wrote on Instagram." ..... Heard he was seen doing a 15 mile 'recovery' run this morning in Central Park. = Baller!!112 -
I heard he tempo'd the course this morning and ran 2:04 on his do-over. Ballin with all the cars in the way now. Should email them about getting his course record prize money.

Part of me thinks he was trying to vomit in the Porto stop instead of actually using it.

Seeing his CV in
he far from being an new Abebe Bikila or Kipchoge of South America, especially he is evolving in a zone with no traditions for long distances.

But will he? The dude literally did the exact same thing in 2021 Tokyo with the same result.
What is it that they say? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... I guess he's an idiot?
