... forced to do a 180°. Looked like about six or seven guys went the wrong way and got lost. This was in the second half after they’d separated from the main pack and were laying the hammer down.
The new leaders are now a bunch of mediocre looking Ethiopians.

Gebrehewit of Italy now on his way with a 71 second lead over a chasing Kenyan. Comedy gold.
-
Ha yeah, I'm in the other room trying work, while all the non runners are watching it (only because it is Venice) and they are yelling "they've got the wrong way! they've got the wrong way!" Sh1t the leaders look like they lost 2mins perhaps, they were on 2:10 pace. Now the Ethiopians are leading.
-
No, wrong, now it looks Tadese's little brother is winning.
-
As hilarious as it is outrageous. Italian Eyob Gebrehewit still leading at 35K as Kenyans on Twitter are screeching the Italians rigged the marathon for their homeboy ???? . I’m watching it live on Rai Sport and the leader didn’t know for the longest time that he’ s the leader. Every time he tries look behind the announcers scream “GUARDA AVANTI, EYOB! GUARDA AVANTI!” I’ll try to get a screenshot of the actual 180 when it ends.

Well its italy
-
Did the race car go the wrong way? Unreal and I actually like this marathon.
-
Eyob Gebrehewit Faniel wins the farcical Venice Marathon in 2:12:16 as theKenyans who had more than two minutes on him when they went the wrong way all DNF. Hooray for Italian organisation.
-
Tadese Jnr 2:12:17
2nd Mohammed Mussa 2:15
See Chumba?? Celebrating Ovett style doing the aeroplane and then passed by the North African. Ha classic. -
I'm still trying to work out how long they ran the wrong way for? 30s, 60s, 2mins?
-
it cost the Kenyans some lire!

Our homeboy? LOL
Just another fake refugee. Will be deported soon.
Isn't winning at sports ala Balotelli guarantee of citizenship? -
This is hilarious. Post race analysis crowing about "l'azzurro Eyob" becoming the first Italian to win Venice in decades. Meanwhile, first article up already:

No. Balotelli is hated by most of Italy by the way. Very bad mentality.
If the Kenyans on Twitter really think Gebrehewit is our homeboy, then they are very stupid. -
It's the runner's responsibility to know the course.

Well, they can't be that stupid for trusting the announcers who were all going crazy about the "first Italian" to win in 22 years. Faniel also spoke Italian (and a bit of diletto) in the post-race interview so there's that. -
Conspiracy theories abound.

How is that a farce? "Leaders go a long way of course?" It's a marathon. Of course it's a long way, just as you said.
