Magic Monday ended late, well after 11 pm (which would have been 8 am on the US East Coast I believe). After the men's 10k final they ran the 3 semis of the men's 800 to finish the session.

I'm just saying, Alekna could have been the usain bolt of that quite irrelevant event (t&f news picked him as 2nd best athlete of the decade behind bekele due to his stats and dominance despite, as I said, that it's a niche event) because:
Alekna threw 73.88 (20 cm short of the doped german 'record') 3-4 weeks before sydney, got a pretty bad injury a week or so later, still won the olympics injured with 69.xx
had 5 straight 70+ meter seasons, flanked from both sides by 31 and 41cm short of 70
total 8 70+ meter seasons
threw 70.xx aged 40
won every golden/diamond league he entered
was a bit of a late bloomer and still had 7 years of total dominance
had to make ends meet in a regular job (also has done some strongman stuff) instead of professional full time training
Not much difference between Germany and a formerly Russian country.
