What's next Rossi? Going to read the first and last page of War and Peace and then brag to everyone that you "finished" the book?
This has been covered already. As run.run made clear, Mike Rossi is a trans-marathoner, who runs the first and last mile of the race but self-identifies as a marathoner. Who are we to deprive him of calling himself a marathon finisher?
End the discrimination!
That explains why Rojo doesn't like him.
Joking obviously! There are plenty of reasons not to like Rossi.
