French marathon runner slaps water away from competitors, unsurprisingly finishes without a medal [View all]
People just cheat all out in the open these days. And now it’s made its way to the Olympics.
French marathon runner Morhad Amdouni was near the 28km mark when he approached a water station for the athletes. Needless to say, if you were directly behind Amdouni you probably had a hard time grabbing some water.
If you are going to do something foul to get a competitive advantage, you at least have to be smoother than this. I don’t know if Amdouni intended to make life worse for his competitors while they race in 84-degree weather and increased humidity, but it certainly looks pretty bad when you are giving a high five to the row of water bottles and only grabbing the last possible one.
Since it’s the Olympics, organizers had workers at the ready and a plethora of water bottles to replenish the table. But still, it’s hardly Olympic spirit that makes one runner topple over multiple bottles of water during a marathon race that already had 30 guys drop out, likely due to exhaustion and hydration issues.
