Heffernan joins elite medal club

Heffernan’s reaction to missing national record:

“Aw was I? I missed it, ah shit! I didn’t realise with 200m to go and I was putting the hands up. Ah it doesn’t matter.” It certainly didn’t. His winning time of 3:37:56 may have only been two seconds outside his own national record he set in London last year but it’s the gold that mattered.

No longer Mr Fourth
