Guy that jumped in the way at finish of Berlin Marathon?

It was the grandson of the guy who entered the stadium ahead of Shorter in Munich.

He was advertising a prostitution website.

Any relation to Alison Berna?

Get over yourself. It is just running.

The guy spoiled the picture, but at least he did not get in the way and slow Wilson Kipsang down. There has been cases of nutters stopping the leader.

What was on his shirt?

What race number did he have on?

Some 35yo dude who promotes a prostitution website. Quote: "[This website] connects hostesses an gentlemen from your area and lets you participate in their bangs."

His shirt probably had the name and url of the website on it.

His race number was F7527 and originally belonged to a woman named Britta who was entered in the 35-39 age group.

About a week ago he pulled a similar stunt when he ran on the field during a soccer game in Hanover. He was fined several thousand euros for that.

Kipsang commented: I didn't really understand what was going on and thought he belonged to the organizers' staff. However, it didn't really bother me.

Well if it was a chick, a stiff arm to the back is the simple solution to clear these attention seeking people out of your way.

You miss the point. The idiot interfered. he could have tripped up kipsang. its just the life of an idiot. They should put a chain on his neck and drive 42.195 km at 2:03:22 pace. If he can keep up, fine.

Regardless, he will have an appreciation for the accomplishment.

Had it been a soccer game there would have been riots. The judge who just gave him a fine for the last infraction should be fired.

Where was security? He could have attacked anybody.

I wonder if you are trolling.

He did not. Precisely.

Or attack him, or shoot at the crowd with a rifle, or whatever. He did nothing of that sort. He just ran through the line like an arsehole.

It happens all of the time and there is no riots. To think the running crowd is even worse than the football crowd!

Judges tend to apply the law, not invent harsh punishments to please a few blood-thirsty people.

About the only way a white guy is gonna come in first in a world major marathon.

Or an open field tackle.

It's the crowning achievement of this man's LIFE. Or maybe you think Kipsang can get a job at Google when he retires from running?

Seriously guys, please stop giving publicity to the event.

Using your logic, guns and knives are okay on planes as long as you don't use them.

There is no serious runner not outraged by this. What are you, a skateboarder? Why are you on a running website?

What did you think of di Lima getting tackled in 2004? 'Only cost him a few seconds'? 'He still got silver'?

Kipsang gave the poor man who was just participating a dirty look. Kipsang should be DQ'd the nice man in the yellow shirt declared a winner.

He works for Suzy Zurich Hamilton?

It was Kip Litton

I like how one of the race officials waits until the guy runs through the finish line and runs another 15 meters before thinking, 'hey, he is't supposed to be here!' and runs after him
