Letsrun marathon preview says "the hot weather of the Olympic marathon means there is usually at least one surprise on the podium."
Forecast doesn't seem so bad - sunny, little wind, upper 60s warming to low 70s, but with high humidity around 80% dropping to 60% by expected finish. Not bad versus recent Olympics. So the weather will not be a factor?
Gault and rojo both get the weather wrong -- consistently.
Olympic Trials -- rojo posted the hisorical record highs as proof the trials were going to be unbearablr.
Olympics whatever is predicted high of the days is what conditions the marathoners will face. Not the 8am temperatures when the marathon will be run. 8am temps in the 60s when the Suns altitude is low are great running conditions. But thats not the drama that LRC wants.
Tomorrow morning will be a touch warmer but not bad.
This is like 90% tourism video, 10% race coverage. 15:40 / 15:19 5k splits.
Let’s just hope the gendarme are on top of their game today. Don’t want to see a defrocked priest, Palestinian terrorist, or an attention seeking French trollop interfere with the ‘Thon runners.
Predicted finish, 2:09:00-2:10:00.
Drinking game: take a shot every time Kara uses the word "fear" or "fearful" in reference to the hills.

Where Bekele? :(
Bekele at the end of the pack, hope it’s just tactics.
Faniel to the front, could be legit move. IIRC he soloed a Great Manchester Run win once
Bat-Ochir now dead last in 32:40 through 10k.
Bekele sitting six seconds off the pace in 64th. Content to just chill at this point.
Sorry, Palestinian terrorist? LOL. Someone has fallen hook line and sinker for the palestine bad israel good narrative

Everytime they show the Seine I begin to feel worse for the triathletes who had to swim in that.
What about the 10K open water swim?
even worse to be in there that long
The city of Paris bathed in early morning sunlight is the real star of the race so far.
