Your last point is under-rated. The press take it way to far and the sponsors need to step in and stop the days of interviews and questioning before a race. In no other sport do they spend so much time demanding from the athlete prior to the event. Same thing IMO happened to Kipchoge pre Boston.
They have less than 1 hour of media at media day 3 days before the race. Very limited requirement.
It's like the starting pitcher for the World Series having a press conference. Not a big deal at all and pretty standard.
