At 37 years old, Meb Keflezighi was the oldest member of Team USA in Sunday’s Olympic marathon. And after Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman were forced to withdraw with injury, he was the only member of Team USA in Sunday’s Olympic marathon. Meb finished fourth, running a 2:11:06, which, somewhat amazingly, is 23 seconds faster than his silver-medal-winning time from Athens.
