Seriously, this should be on the front page.

Except everyone who watched the race knows Hall was just lifting his hands to praise god, as was Meb (pointing to the sky). They hugged each other as soon as Hall crossed the line.
Here's a better photo, captures all three of Meb, Hall and Abdi celebrating while Ritz is crushed:

Great shot with the contrasting emotions. I would crop it into a vertical shot just with Ritz, Hall, and Meb to focus it a bit.

That's not Ritz.
Ignore my prior. I looked at the wrong photo.
It's like Meb TRIES to be a terrible dresser, isn't it? Why doesn't his wife step in here?
lots of compression socks out there, esp amoung the leaders

The guy in the blue shirt in the background is Eric Loeffler, who finished at 2:25:xx. Given the person on the ground is wearing a backwards hat, and finished a couple of minutes faster than Eric, I'm going to guess Mike Wardian.

Ha ha yeah- sketchers and knee socks!
BOTH winners, Shalane and Meb were wearing compression socks...just saying. There was a lot of hate about those in some threads a few weeks back.
Hobby Jogger accessory was what folks were calling them. They look pretty good when you're number 1 on the podium though huh?

Actually only women and gay males give a rat's ass about clothes. Why in the world would anybody give a moment's thought to what Meb is wearing?

the hat? the long shorts? the orange shoes? The guy is a professional - he should present himself better.

Not wardian. He was wearing a white hat.

Why dont any east africans wear them then? I doubt you will see any on the podium at the olympic race.
First it was the arm warmers, then the compression socks - next swim caps?
