Official 2014 Boston Marathon Race Discussion Thread

i was just screaming MEBRAHTOM that entire last 2 miles.

that was amazing.

Meb is the GOAT American. Period. Somebody get that patriot his flag.

The acting was pretty by the 2nd and 3rd place finishers!

That was awesome! good for meb. my adrenaline was pumping watching that in class.

I almost lol'd at the heelys line. But I think we can all agree it was all the walking around in sketcher's shape ups that gave him the strength to hold on there.

I can't believe he held on, that was awesome

Does this rival the 1980 USA Olympic Hockey gold medal? Wow! This is a victory for the Ages.

You've got to be kidding me. Unless, of course you are suggesting that the Miracle On Ice was fixed as well.

CAN SOMEONE TELLME WHO WON THE RACENO ONE IS GIVING THE RESULTS

You would think if Shalane had won they would have draped her in stars and stripes, why not Meb?

Bro, Meb has been living in the US for over 20 years. in other words, probably longer than you have been living (i'm guessing, because you sound like a 17 year old).

Couldn't be prouder of Meb and our country right now. Tearing up at my desk!!

So they can show us a split screen of the men's and women's leaders for the whole race, but they can't show us a split screen of the winners celebrating and the race that's still going on. Bulls\hit.

MEB

2004 Olympic Silver

2009 NYC Winner

2012 4th Place

Always under appreciated

Always discounted

Always proving the doubters wrong

I don't get it. I am not an American, but I just don't understand this response. Isn't the Statue of Liberty inscribed with:

“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Isn't your country all about guys like Meb becoming Americans? Isn't the USA all about people coming for a better life? Get your head out of the sand and stop being so xenophobic.

Def. fixed. They didn't even let Chebet race him down the stretch.... All orchestrated by Herbie Hancock......

MEB! pushups and all, the dude is the toughest mofo ever!

Everyone, please stop responding to the "Meb is not an American" trolls. Just ignore them and they'll disappear back to their pathetic lives.

Cmon guys .... what was his time?

Ok, so what watch is Meb using there? Anybody recognize it?
