Did you watch the LA Olympic marathon?
Just repeating what the women's winner did in Berlin
Dude is getting paid. Nothing but respect.
Literally? Not figuratively?
Steve Prefontaine used to do the same thing with the same brand.
Every winner in every classic skiing event does this every time since generations back - good for professional running that the sport is finally growing up!

I'm old enough to remember Molly Seidel finishing 3rd in the Olympic Marathon and taking off her Puma's and slinging them over her shoulder to cover the Nike logo.
And even further back Lasse Viren holding up his Onitsuka Tigers (ASICS) as he did a victory lap. And that was before runners made money from shoe companies (snicker, snicker).
Dude is a badass mofo who led almost every step of the way, surviving a near-suicidal pace after 3 previous lousy performances in Boston to win. He deserves to show off the Brand With the 3 Stripes a bit.
No different than Emma displaying her UCAN packet all the way down Boylston. And does anyone know if she has a Modelo sponsorship? I noticed she grabbed one of those pretty quickly and made sure everyone saw it during the post race interviews. Good for them! Get it while you can.
