That was a really neat opportunity, cheers to the Olympic Committee!

He drank orange juice and then disappeared for 54 years! Very strange.

There's hope for all of us to complete that marathon!

The important thing is no matter how long it took him, he finished the race.

Tremain White

in fairness it's a bit of a trick question, as it implies he kept running, as opposed to taking so many years off, and only then, he resumed the race... hmmm

Glenn

Rey, slowly but surely

I might even be able to beat that time!?

Vel

Would love to know why he disappeared and why was he missing so long?. Does anyone know? Do not understand why there is no explanation for the 54 years he was missing.

Angie

it's impossible! how did he do that!!

MCA

I wonder if they ever thought something tragic may have happened to him when he came up missing from the marathon and why it took so long for them to find out what actually happened.
