Very odd scenes as the morning draws to a close in Victoria Park as the Men's Marathon winners are asked to return to the stage for a repeat prize presentation, this time with Hong Kong Olympic Committee president Timothy Fok handing out the trophies.

Fianlly time for the Marathon prize presentations as runners continue to stream over the finish line in Victoria Park, where it is turning out like a very nice day ... especially if you are taking home a cheque for US$65,000 ... (or US30,000 or US$15,000) ....
