Namibia's Dan Craven didn't manage to finish Rio's road race cycle event.
Not one to mope about, the 33-year-old was offered the opportunity to compete in the event after a last-minute withdrawl.
Craven asked his Twitter followers if he should enter the time trial - and of course they said
yes.
Armed with a road bike and regular helmet, Craven compared the challenge ahead of him to "Entering a Formula 1 race with a NASCAR."
The cyclist became an instant favourite with the fans... And finished dead last with a time of 1:27:47.93.
