  5. Bas says:

    a win for FAIL Blog :)

  6. Silent Wanderer says:

    Sorry thats not funny at all..

  7. Richard says:

    That’s actually poor race management – the truck should have accelerated away before the turn, to make it obvious that it was no longer performing “pace truck” duties.

  8. Kinbuzz says:

    Poor fella. He must have felt devastated.

  9. Moi says:

    I think this is the first time I don’t feel like laughing after a big FAIL…

  10. Giop says:

    Something alike happened in an important bike race in Europe, where the group leader was mistakenly directed to a service lane a few meters from the arrival, I’ll post the clip as soon as I find it.

  11. Iron_Turtle says:

    Not marathon leader at all.

    Natsuki Terada.

    With less than 200 metres left in the two-day marathon competed between Japanese universities, Terada was in eighth place with four runners contesting the three spots that would secure entry for next year.

      And even after his wrong turn and being passed by the three runners behind him, he still managed to recover and overtake the last of those three… still winning the spot for next year.

    • Jessi says:

      It took them two days to run a little over 26 miles?

      Yes, I know “marathon” has now evolved to mean other things, but when it’s applied to running, it still means a specific distance.

  12. Demonizah says:

    Awww poor fellow! To be honest, I thought he was running the right way at first.

  13. Kaid says:

    he must looking in the lights

  14. TNT says:

    so Asian’s can’t do anything on correctly on the road – even without a car !!!!!

  15. rhythmMAN says:

    FAIL – the guy that fell over @ the end was NOT the idiot who lost his lead in the race by turning the wrong direction.

    Stupid deceptive video editing!

    • Raz says:

      He didn’t have a lead. As stated elsewhere, he was in 8th place. He had to beat 1 of the 3 other guys near him to earn an automatic seed next year. Despite his mistake, he is successful. (The result is that person considered failing can smile and laugh with his friends after, while the one who actually gets 11th place can collapse in agony at the end).

      The real fail is that commentary, which was obviously written for the announcer without having done any research into what is actually happening. You can make a perfectly good quip about this mistake without making up everything, so do the 10 minutes of research needed to not tell a string of lies next time please.

  16. Mystyc Vegeta says:

    poor guy…. that’s awful ….

  17. fatov says:

    That’s actually not funny at all – and yeah it was poor race management…

  18. bishop27 says:

    The real fail here is the reporters. He wasn’t in the lead.

  19. flagger10 says:

    Do i see it right that he finished third of the four?

  20. blueollie says:

    Goodness. Then again I am slow enough to never have to worry about leading.

  21. SV says:

    Poor guy…
    If memory serves me, there was a Charlie Brown animated film from the 70′ that was exactly like this!

  22. Fred says:

    Orientals.

    Navigation.

    No more need be said.

    • Jessi says:

      Yeah, I hate it when my inanimate objects don’t know where they’re going.*

      *Just so you know, things are “Oriental”, while people are “Asian”.

      My sources: I’m Asian.

  23. JMAFIOSO says:

    How stupid =(

  24. RadioResearch says:

    He’s going the distance….
