The boy Hawkins from Kilbarchan comes 9th in the marathon.

Congrats to him - that was a brave race
As regards Mo - probably now acknowledged as the greatest distance runner ever seen - there has been a surprising silence from the Nigel Farage sect. "Coming over here & stealing our medals" - he is obviously black, Muslim, refugee family etc - just the sort who should be excluded even if he does grab the flag when doing his laps of honour.
On reflection, wonder if he will be allowed into the States if Trump gets in?

Oh well thats it all done for another 4 years. Probably not the best supported Olympics in terms of bums on seats but very enjoyable to watch. Is it just me or are 4 years alot shorter than they used to be .
