Finished three times in one run

In case anyone watches the video of the 10,000 metres track championships and is confused by Robbie Lambden finishing three times, I had better explain.

He misheard the lap scorers calling out someone else's laps and thought he had two laps to go. He produced a sprint finish after running two but he actually had four more to go after that!

He managed to get running again for another lap but then walked off the track, I thought to retire.

I told him that he still had another three to go so he walked and jogged a couple of them before runing the final one - and sprinting to the line again!

As if he hadn't made it hard enough for himself by gradually moving further and further out from the inside lane - at one point he was running in lane 5.
