        Yuki is about a minute behind, looks like he is coming back with a vengeance.

        Dang. That grimace too. He almost looks out of shape.

        Does he have those facial expressions in good races as well? I think they showed his projected time as 2:10 a few minutes ago

        From all the races I've seen him run he looks like that basically throughout the whole race.

        Those water bottles look like those ketchup bottles you see at some restaurants. Very ingenious.
