HE DIDN’T CROSS the line when he would have wanted but Meb Keflezighi’s finish may just have been the most memorable of today’s Olympic marathon.
As the 41-year-old American soaked up the applause on what was his final Olympic appearance, he lost his footing on the wet surface and took an awkward looking tumble right on the line.
But the silver medallist from Athens was quickly back on his feet to make light of an embarrassing situation by doing push-ups on the line — all of this after a 2 hour and 16 minute run in humid conditions in Rio.

While a 33rd place finish was not the fairytale ending he would have hoped for, Keflezighi certainly went out with a bang.
