Jared Ward, they just mentioned, is a devout Mormon so he doesn't run on Sundays but he is fine racing on a Sunday?
Great observation.
I found a loophole.
It's alraedy Monday in New Zealand. Maybe he's operating on New Zealand time.

To participate training for the marathon, he has a choice whether to train on Sundays or not. If he is going to compete in the Olympic marathon, he doesn't have a choice but to compete on Sunday.
Hats aren't water wrote:
Hats are a "non-water" item, maybe?
Rule 240.8(b) For events longer than 10km, refreshments other than water may be made available at these points.
(c) Refreshments may include drinks, energy supplements, foodstuffs or any other item other than water. the Organising Committee will determine which refreshments it will provide based on prevailing conditions.
Same category as the sponges maybe? What would be the argument for sponges ok hats no?
The feed just now went off.
If it isn't explicitly forbidden by the rules then it is allowed.
FYI:
"For reference, on a hot & sunny Sunday last week, @ShalaneFlanagan & @HastyHastings had wet towels attached to their fluid bottles."
Should they have been disqualified too? Or is it just the secret air-conditioned hat that gives an unfair advantage.
Get ready for Hatgate.
does anyone know when the marathon starts?

I came here after the hat comment to say "the commentators on NBC are even more petty than letsrun posters. They're whining about a guy changing hats!" Then I got here and found out that letsrun posters were wining about a guy changing hats, too. Okay, letsrun retains its title.
Looks like the race is about to go boom...

He went "jack-Mormon" for the games. Soda and everything.
Rupp looks distressed at 1/2 way

Tom Hammond's got a good point. WIll Rupp be DQd for getting that hat??
I
Absolutely not! Cooler heads will prevail. No one is going to lose their top over something so trivial. If he does get DQed, I'll eat my hat.
