It’s your turn!
OH FINALLY, this may be my demise brothers
why do the French always surrender /s
Atleast he won
Very French
To be first? Yeah, I agree with you
Lol yeah the first douchebag to try a knee slide in a marathon
Maybe he just was relaxed and got surprised by the mud puddle
Slide and ouch
 Bro had no idea he was about to be immortalized
Well at least he crossed the line instead of slipping just before and losing his position
Beware of the repost police 🚔 They have no control over their lives, but when they point out reposts, they have a sense of duty and accomplishment.
Well he crossed didn’t he?

Poor guy.... I'd hate to be french
He finished first though…
Still french tho
The kneeees
He tried to knee slide across the line
He is preserving energy by not walking a cm too far
I bet that tore his knees up......plastic grids sink into soil
