“It looked as though they completed a fun run and not [an] Olympic [race].”
This is Anna and Lisa Hahner, twins from Germany who also happen to both be elite marathon runners.
Both of the women qualified for this year's marathon final at the Rio Olympics. They filled two of the three slots to represent their country at the Games.
"We are so proud, happy and full of joy," they wrote in a blog. "Our big dream has come true."
On Sunday, the twins competed in the marathon final. They finished 81st and 82nd, and crossed the finish line holding hands.
