Genzebe Dibaba DNF sonewhere between 25 and 30k. Not a succesful marathon career for her so far...

Not sure, he went out pretty fast for someone who is 41 which is impressive. I'm thinking 2:06 ish range but we will see.
Probably 2:04 low - he's 1:42:54 through 35k (2:13 behind leaders who are on pace for 2:02 low)
He's on about 2:05 flat pace given what he went through at 35k

He crossed the half marathon mark in 60:57; if he finishes I'll be impressed because with a slower first half he probably could have run something pretty mean today. Hopefully I'm wrong and he doesn't positive split too badly
You're always wrong
Hey buddy good to see you on a running thread!

Give Joshua a break. It's his first marathon and Kenenisa has run (or started rather) around 10? marathons... Cheptegei is still a 5,000/10,000 track runner in my opinion... well, it's not an opinion, it's a fact
Just noticed that the youtube timestamp is about 14 seconds behind the Valencia one.
Tegefa in the blue Adidas Evo super shoe ?
Her pacer has the same shoes and the thinnest legs I've ever seen.
Got to appreciate Bekele longevity. Even at age of 41, he is running fast

sh!t scratch that, you were right man, my bad
Anyone got link for live tracking for official splits? App broke down
Lemma may run sub 2:02 but he's fading...
26 seconds under the course record still.
Lemma will get the CR! Quite impressive to be able to run faster than Kiptum last year...
Lemma projected time ...2:01:00-2:02:00....within.... new Ethiopia record (2:01:41) under threat.
I don’t think anyone envisioned Lemma winning. Had Kandie in 2:02
Is Lemma from Kenya? If he is, you have Kipchoge, Kiptum, Lemma in the 2:00, 2:01 range, would you leave out Evans Chebet for the 2024 Olympics?

The app is the Achilles Heel of this marathon. Always breaks, not accurate, slow... etc.
You've got a leaderboard at the official website (first 100 men and women), scroll down the live streaming

Wolde and Kandie got dropped hard, Kandie has already been passed
