livetv dot sx has a few links
the German language one is lag-free for me
The australian betting site here has Kipsang at $3, Kimetto at $3.10 and Kipchoge at $5
Good odds on Kipchoge, but want it to be Kipsang
do you speak German?

Mile 11: Chasers are gaining on lead pack.
Mile 12: 5:37 Chase pack has caught the leaders, as has the second pacer (Elizabeth Cherono). Lead group is now 12, Tsegaye and Mergia at the front. They start picking it up a little bit when group 2 catches them.
Men through 5k in 14:32. Group of 10 plus two pacers.
The men's 5K split is fast, but not absurdly so considering the first 5k is downhill. Two years ago it was 14:26, last year it was 14:21.
Could someone offer some pretty safe bet suggestions on the men's?
Wanna put say £20 down, either on people to win or 1st/2nd.

Ha ha, first time ever they knew who was who in the sprint finish for the wheelchairs. The are actually learning!

They are on exactly world record pace -- 2:02:57 -- through 5 miles. Though again, first 5k is significantly downhill.
Yikes! At Priscah Jeptoo's gait.

Geoffrey Mutai is slightly off the back.
On WR pace?
Some sites have E Mutai at 1/13 odds. Too bad I didn't see that sooner.

Yeah, I'm amazed she can clip along at < 5:30 pace for a couple of hours looking like that. If she were to show up at some local yokel U.S. 5K as an unknown, and took off ahead of the men at 4:50 pace with that stride, she'd look like such a complete retard that onlookers would quickly conclude it was a stunt and be laughing their asses off. For a couple minutes, anyway.
