KB is a legit GOAT. Why does Jos Hermans keep talking him up before every race? Only setting him up for humiliation.

Ben True's at 2:12:56 pace now and Noah Droddy, 2:15:30.
John Anderson. He apparently was a high jumper in college.

This really puts NBC's coverage into perspective, what an eye-opener!
Bring back Mary Whittenberg. She would not let this coverage become this piss poor.
I'm watching a Premier league game in the UK at the same time, there are some adverts at halftime but nothing during the actual game, I don't know how you guys cope.

Shalane is going to catch and pass Pappas despite starting with the masses rather than the elites. Now that is bravey.
Now we are seeing highlights of past races as the women are about to finish?
Is this a joke?

It looks like they have completely given up on covering the actual race now that runners closing in on the finish.

I'm usually the last person to be critical of race coverage, even when it merits criticism. But this is truly the worst I've ever seen.
During the week, I'm going to go back and count how many commercials were in this broadcast and compare it to an NFL broadcast. Seems like way more but I guess the NFL has a ton during half time.
I guess we should be thankful companies want to buy ad time during a marathon broadcast?
Also I STG if we cut to commercial within this final mile and a half I am going to be pissed.
I'm backing Yeshaneh FTW. She probably has a much better kick.

agreed. Actually I know this wouldn't go well when Hermans was hyping him up pre-race.
Let’s go lagat’s sister!
Thank you.
Did shalane start with the elite women?
that is the irony of the situation, when you look at medal counts and record books, it is pretty darn hard to maintain that running is this eurocentric, white-dominated sport. Liberals take a look at their local turkey trot and all they see are Whitey McWhites, so they generalize that "all running in the US must be white and racist". They forget to see who is winning races.

No - started with the masses in the first wave.
