Love how he did it because his mates were doing it - after his GOLD this was just a good day out for him 😂

Great guy! Open water is totally different to pool swimming….drafting, sighting, current management..and he just gave it a go! If he gets sick tomorrow, maybe we can blame the Guinness.

He is absolutely hilarious 😂 😂😂 What a great attitude; I love his interviews! He had such a successful Olympics and I can’t wait to see what he does next. Made us all super proud and he DEFINITELY deserves a few pints after that gruelling slog this morning 💪🏻

Enugu City International Marathon was a celebration of health and fitness, determination, endurance, discipline, and our shared humanity. It was a remarkable event, and I commend everyone who made it a success. Congratulations to the winner of the 10km race (men category) in which i participated, Francis James, who finished in 29.03 minutes, as well as other winners. As we look ahead, I’m hopeful for an even better organized and more globally recognized marathon next year. Enugu is on the move!
