Robert Cheruiyot wins Chicago Marathon 10/22/06 with a time of 2:07:35 but slips at finish line - OUCH!10/24/06 Update:CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Marathon winner Robert Cheruiyot left the hospital on Tuesday after spending two nights there with a mild concussion he sustained when he slipped at the finish line. The 28-year-old had sprinted away from fellow Kenyan Daniel Njenga during the final stretch of Sunday's race when he slipped backward and banged his head, causing internal and external bleeding. His momentum carried him across the line, making him the winner in two hours seven minutes 35 seconds. Cheruiyot, this year's Boston Marathon champion, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He had no recollection of what had happened immediately afterward and asked his coach if he had won. But his agent, Federico Rosa, said his client's memory is intact. There were decals with the marathon's logo at the finish line, but Rosa did not blame them for the fall. He suggested after the race and during a news conference on Monday that wet conditions, shoes and even just a lack of balance caused Cheruiyot to slip.

Tropico11 is a dumb ass. Dude prolly does jazzercise on the weekends and thinks hes a world class athlete.

Putting anything that could possibly be slippery at the finish is pure stupidity. Concussions are very big deals for athletes. It can sometimes take years to get complete fitness back after a concussion.

Eh, it depends, compared to a fatass couch potato they aren't that bad, but compared to any normal fit person who exercises (you know, with weights and stuff) they are kinda weak as piss.

The pain of embarrassment.

Listen to that race direct shuffling. "Ah, yeah, it's JUST a concussion." Sure, and he could have a blood clot traveling to his brain...better call your lawyer.
