This guy is incredible.i was amazed that he was always in facebook chating to friends even hours before the race and here he is having a beer after the race,so much for strict athletes diet!
Why unbelievable? He just won a huge race. He earned that beer (or however many he had)!
You letsrunners are unbelievable, drinking beer is not a big deal at all!
Think about it. If there is any optimal time to have a beer, it would be following a major race that you peaked for. It is the farthest point away from your next major race/event/training segment. Seriously, lighten up.
He'd recover faster if he had some bananas instead...
Nothing wrong with a beer ask Toshiheko Seko.
Oh wait most whipper snappers on here would have no earthly idea who that is.

What exactly is an "earthly idea?" How is it different than an "idea?"
this was before the hookers and blow.....
seriously he is going back to the only developed country where runners get any face, so he will have more trim than all of us combined. The party has just begun...

I suppose you had no earthly idea that "earthly idea" is a common expression.

Sure it is! And that's why a quick google search reveals numerous websites, blogs and youtube making fun of good ol' GW Bush for using the 'common' expression.

1 beer after his seasonal peak race doesn't exactly indicate that he doesn't otherwise lead a strict diet. Get a clue, boob.
Nothing wrong with a little celebration after an amazing race.
He should've scored some of that sweet China White instead.

They're not making fun of him for using a "common" expression; they're making fun of him because of the context.
Further proof that Americans just don't understand distance running.
Save your calorie counting for power walkers. Its perfectly fine to have a few beers after a hard effort.
Right...having a beer obviously contradicts following a strict diet. Now show him having a beer before the race or maybe killing a 12-pack right after and I may be a little more impressed.
I'm pretty sure I saw him shotgunning a beer and downing some chicken nuggets on the starting line.
The only thing "unbelievable" is that he settled for whatever that crap is he's drinking. If I'd just won Oly gold, I'd be asking for a Guinness, a nice German pilsner, or a quality American microbrew.
Wanjiru, here's to you. Slainte!
Beer... it's not just for breakfast.
