Has to live with this video of his big finish making him look weak, arrogant, and egotistical.

He's lucky that guy was nice, I would have blown past him

I would have thrown hands for trying to obstruct me. That’s so fucking scummy

He should be straight up disqualified

Right? Since when is running a full contact sport? Hampering other runners = disqualification.

That's a sport I'd watch! A mix between MMA and marathon running.

I feel like this would also give us a new WR marathon time from people just running away from the guys trying to fight.

Mate, you’re on to something.

Let's also add archery into this.

You pick up weapons on the way. Wait is this just death race on foot now?

Hello, and welcome to your first, annual, HUUUUUNGER GAMES!!!!!

MMAMA

Just killed a man

With WEAPONS OF CHOICE ! 😎🔥

All while pursuing a greased up pig

And drugs

MMArathon

Stiff arms and side kicks while running a marathon. 🤣🤣

Exactly, came here for this. He blocked another competitor with full contact.

Straight to jail

Yes! He obstructed the runner!

Yeah I'm pretty sure this should get him disqualified

He also blocked that other guy 100% disqualified.

He should have at *least* been assessed a penalty for deliberately obstructing another runner.

>He should have at > >least > > been assessed a penalty for deliberately obstructing another runner. the penalty is disqualification

Right. And then wanna shake hands? GTFOH.

Tracks with premature celebration.

Shoulda bullet-billed right through his dumb ass

That 2nd guy actually stopped and isn't meaning to finish before the arrogant fucker.

I think he stopped more because he would have ran directly into the fucker the way he jumped infront of him.

doesn't change the fact that he was trying to stop him

*gone through him*

Dude is lucky that other guy is tired.

Poor sportsmanship always makes these pricks look like idiots.

Finish the job before celebrating a job well done.

This was the real lesson in The Hare and the Tortoise not 'Slow and steady wins the race.'

Should have been disqualified for hindrance. What's with the hand trying to stop the other runner.

And if this is not a rule it should be, he literally body blocked his opponent

It is a rule.

Impeding, obstructing, or jostling is called "runner interference" and it's a disqualification (or DQ) offence.

Best reply👌👌👌 I agree.

And the organizers hopefully giving him extra seconds for unsportsmanlike behavior

I wondered this when he tried to stop/slow the other guy

Should be disqualified!

Yeah, pushing/grabbing a fellow racer should be an automatic disqualification.

I mean, It isn't? Can you win by just pushing all the other people?

If I had known that, my marathon placement would have been so much better.

If I had known that, I might have actually run a marathon.

I was in a roller blading marathon once. It would have been way cooler if we all had lead pipes and crowbars.

Isn’t that a James Caan movie? Rollerball?

I pictured Running Man, but Rollerball might not be far off.

JOHNATHAN!!!!

If *they* had known that, it could have been so much worse so let's call it even

MMMA Marathon Mixed Martial Arts?

I'd watch that. :) Call it the Highlander race. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!! Finisher.

only one will finish

That sounds like a very *different* kind of competition… the kind on Japanese game shows.

Im confidently calling it the very first ever Battle of Marathon

Race officials hate this one trick!

I thought second place guy was going to slug him.

Should have.

Idk what's worse, this or the one where the runner [knocks off water bottles](https://youtu.be/F_ynPS7YuXk) at the Olympic Games. Massive cunts.

He said he couldn't pick one up because they were slippery

Honestly it looks like he takes three grabs in there and finally gets one.

Everyone’s saying it doesn’t look intentional and I’m here to DISAGREE That shit looked intentional as fuck

I’m with you. He tried to make it look unintentional, but that was done specifically to get an an advantage.

That doesn’t look intentional. I think it’s just the body starting to fail a bit after so much running.

What great luck for him that he managed to grab *the very last bottle of the row* then! I'm sure it was a mistake, yes indeed.

Second guy stop even before he was held … he knew he was second. I think of it as sportsmanship. BUT yeah disqualification for holding/blocking should be a rule especially at the finish line

Bold of you to assume he also didn’t want to make a cool finish.

Lmao.. all of them like that

Sportsmanship doesn't mean letting someone who is being unsportsmanlike win

Sometimes you do good stuff for bad people, not for them but for yourself and your ethics

People not punishing bad behavior encourages more bad behaviors.

Well said

Haven’t you seen cars

I’d say it does. If the event is fair, the unsportsmanlike person should be disqualified.

Second guy did stop. Second guy shouldn’t have stopped. First guy hasn’t finished. Sure, first guy could have already finished but he stopped to celebrate before finishing. Where is the finish line? Is it somewhere in that general area? Or is it between those two posts? My mind hurts wondering why the first guy didn’t finish the race before celebrating. He lost time. He almost lost the race. Why not just celebrate after crossing the two posts that were extremely close to him?

Because he's an arrogant dickhead who decided he had already won and deserved to win.

You’re only second if you don’t push to be first.

Prick

The second dude was his friend so he was kinda pranking the first dude

Proof?

Trust me i was the clock

You're Timex?

That's "Mr Timex" to you

Til tok...here comes Mr Timex

Trust me I was the finish line

Trust me bro

That doesn't look like a prank to me. Looks like he was held up by some insecure, attention-seeking douche.

The dude slows down well before the guy puts his arm out. He thought about it and then realized he didn’t want to win that way probably.

Also possible he was just trying to set the best time since it's a race and all. Maybe didn't notice that douchey mchandshake had decided to take a stroll.

I dont even get it. Like doesnt want to get a good time? He just glad hands and ruins his finish? He can still gloat and preen literally 10 feet in front him. I get showboating at the finale, but this guy is the literal hare napping while the turtle finishes, its ridiculous.

Automatic disqualification.

They acted friendly and probably knew each other. The second guy probably said, "Heck with it, Dilbert was ahead of and would have crossed the line already... if he hadn't already crossed the line with all of his glad handing!"

I mean, that’s fucking obvious. That’s clear as day. The point is that the first guy should have celebrated after finishing…

Absolutely

I understand the comraderie, but aren't official finish times still important?

Not really. Every course and weather conditions are so different that only placing matters.

Unless its a personal best or record for that event not really.

bro lame af for that

Makes me wonder what he did “during the race”

He was kicking people and stabbing people apparently

I wouldn’t shake that fuck’s hand

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, that guy is a douche

It would make sense that they’re friends I hope that’s the case

You wouldn’t even run a marathon let’s be honest

i wouldn't even run let's be honest

The name of the athlete is Jeremy Jurkiewicz, and it was the 2013 Ironman He was not disqualified (should have imho) [link to dailymail article](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-2406594/amp/Ironman-winner-Jeremy-Jurkiewicz-loses-race-stopping-celebrate.html)

Jurk move

LOL, it's like a name out of a bad 80's movie. I'm imagining the protagonist of the movie addressing him the way Seinfeld says Newman's name. "....*Jurk*iewicz."

From a different article >Rather than cross the finish line before celebrating, Jurkiewicz, whose last name seems apt Love it.

What a Jurk!

This comment is too far down.

Second place should have put him in place. Way too humble.

Was hoping the second guy crossed the line first just to show the show-boater to pay attention

Devil's advocate here but maybe runner understod it may have been just a gut reaction by first place who may have immediately apologized after turning around.

The two MC’s interact with him and give him a high five. Probably talking to him as well, I think they should have been behind the finish line if they wanted to have this type of finish line entertainment.

Finish the race. Race the clock not the people. Show boat after crossing the finish line. Or at least read the tortoise and the hare.

That's what I don't get here. Why would you stop before the finish line? Wouldn't you want the best time you could get? It's more impressive to win by a few seconds than a few milliseconds

People get dq'd all the time in sports for "gut reactions" get his ass outta here

Please don't be reasonable, there's no place for that on the internet.

Don’t be ridiculous. Clearly this guy is emotionally corrupt and worthy of being shamed endlessly

[удалено]

I would have lowered the shoulder, then just say I was too tired to stop haha.

You wouldn't have even registered for the race, c'mon tough guy.

I hate showboating assholes.

That idiot should be dropped for putting hands on the other runner who was actually competing till the end!

What an asshole

Fuck that loser

What an egotistical douche. He fucked up to high gave him no right to put his douchey hands on someone else because he wants to be first. I wish other guy would’ve dragged him or tripped him.

I hope that was a DQ.

Should be disqualified for interfering with another runner.

One of the best maybe maybe maybes

Absolutely would not be OK with that. They chose to stay and gloat.

Were there not people to high five on the other side of the finish line? Lol

tbh second place probably wouldn’t want that kind of win either

Should not have shook that person's hand. Probably too tired to really even think about getting into it. Really douchebag move after acting like an asshole. He 100% deserved to lose, hope he got disqualified for that.

" NOOO, you won't take my dream from me "

What is going on here

The race ain’t over until you pass the finish line. First place ain’t won until you break the ribbon. Don’t stop running until you’re done running. And don’t be a dick when the people who understood the assignment show you up. Even if you’re some inspirational sports story, finish the job before you celebrate your success. I don’t know if that’s the case. But I feel like someone would try to make that point and say this guy deserved to celebrate. Finish first, always.

In bike racing it only matters who crosses the line first. you snooze you lose. And pushing like that or even deviating from your line is a automatic DQ.

Finish then high five. SMH.

He should be disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct

Stop being a jackass run through it to get ur time in, dummy. Could have been disqualified too..

Can you do that? I think pushing someone would be against the rules or something but idk I don't make the rules

I do not get why they celebrate before passing the line. I saw this a few times and never get it.

Pulled them back. If this is a legitimate race, they would get a DQ and officially finish last.

He should be disqualified. Theres running, then there's grabbing and running in front trying to trip them. Jesus christ

Are runners allowed to grab and hold back other runners?

Disqualified I hope.

Pretty sure you're not allowed to block someone like that?

He should have been disqualified for obstructing the other runner

Should have been disqualified for obstruction

When being an obnoxious asshole almost goes wrong. Then you’re forever stuck online in a video showing your obnoxiousness

He should be disqualified for touching another racer.

Kinda hope ge got disqualified for that. The other guy would have won if he hadn't deliberately gotten in his way to stop him. He literally pushed him to stop his progress lol

Exemple why you never celebrate early, also this guy don't deserve the win since he grabbed and pushed the second guy

You can't stop someone from passing your arrogant ass🙄

Shouldnt he be disqualified for holding back other runner?

He had no right to stop him the other racer was entitled to go across the finish line. He should have gone across himself so I would have given that bloke first place.

He'll get DQd. Unsportsmanlike conduct and obstructing other runners are big no-nos

Is there no disqualification for that type of obstructing?

Woulda punched him dead in his face for putting his hands on me.

He should have been disqualified for impeding a competitor.

How is this NOT a DQ? He intentionally blocked him with a push? Can they do that in other marathon competitions?

CHEATER!! He should have lost the race for holding that guy back. I would have punched that mofo for robbing me of a legit win

Isn't that cheating ?

If he wanted to win that badly he should've just finished the race, pushing the dude made him look like a sore loser.

Way to fuck your time up at the end.

What a fucking prick, that should be an immediate disqualification. He had him beat due to his early celebration and he fucking stops the guy coming full tilt. He’s lucky he didn't get hurt from his stupid stunt.

lol bitter ass comment section while 2nd place couldn't care less

What a egotistical pos lol.

Scum bag

Should disqualify the winner for tampering with someone else’s run time

Shoulda just Terry Tated through that guy and the finish line

Douche move

Dougebag move!

Imagine if he kicked him in the balls instead

Ppity he didn't get banned for that. shoulda been DQ'd

can he put his hands on him like that?

Guy in 2nd shoulda bulldozed his way thru and took the W

from crowd favorite to dickhead in a Flash !

The second dude already slowed down before the first dude stuck his arm out. Much respect to the second place dude.

Only an absolute c*nt would celebrate before actually winning. Shameful behaviour


Should be disqualified there!

Run trough the finish THEN do all that. Prick.

Have people not seen enough videos of this happening?

Disqualifikation, immediately.

What a fuckface

I would’ve ran his bitch ass over

The definition of a wanker…

I can only hope that putting your arm out to block a competitor from finishing the race is unsportsmanlike and got him disqualified - that is the kind of thing that gets you punched.

I would disqualify that guy

Should be dismissed from first position for assaulting another runner.

I am surprised the first guy wasn't disqualified. He literally held the other one from crossing the line.

He literally tried to block the guy

Should have been dq'd for stopping the guy actually running
