From a site dedicated to celebrating (no, seriously!) the last-place finishers at the 2004 Olympics:

Women's marathon: Luvsanlkhundeg Otgonbayar of Mongolia finished 66th with a time of 3:48:42 — half an hour behind the 65th-place finisher and over an hour and twenty minutes behind the winner. Sixteen competitors did not finish.

Sixteen of the 82 olympic athletes in the event didn't even finish — WTF? Unless your leg snaps off, how can you make it all the way to the Olympics and then quit?

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
