« on: April 15, 2018, 04:10:04 pm »absolutely insane/disturbing video .. Callum Hawkins basically almost dies towards the end of this marathon (which he was leading by a large margin). Complete trash medical support.
He's basically just dying, no help. So brutal to watch.

people were even taking photos like wtf.
I heard this on the radio when I woke up. I also watched it. How does one become like that.
it's fuk'd up.
apparently it was insanely hot. pushing the pace (to goal pace, but not in ideal conditions) can wreck you. He basically would have died if he was on his own. Crazy shit.
