Starting in about three minutes. Does anybody know where we can watch this? It's geoblocked to Flotrack in my country and I don't want to give those guys a dollar they don't deserve.

BBC with a VPN?
It’s live on BBC 2. BBC 1 is following the Queen’s hearse by helicopter on the long drive to Edinburgh. Nice on camera interview with Sir Brendan Foster. Talked about the Queen presenting him with his first medal at the 1970 Commonwealth Games where he lost to Kip Keino. She was “jumping up and down” cheering during the race.
Obiri throwing surges then letting up, barely testing Jepchirchir, Ayana and other Ethiopian.
No one is missing anything - the women's race is 7k in and there has been 15s of coverage. Currently some bishop praying about the queen while some skinhead howlers what I presume are insults in the background
Aaaaand they’re off after a minutes silence. Interested in what Barega can do. Bekele looks good.
Women down to Obiri, Ayana and Jepchirchir. The broadcast coverage is in miles, which I have no concept of so I’ll not attempt to analyse splits.
Thank you Legend!
Flotrack coverage is just steady shots of Elites with no commentary. Marked improvement from the usual.
Kiplimo, Barega, and Bekele just baaaaaarely hanging on in the lead pack...
Kenny just starting to lose contact 35:00 in.
Helen looking smooth, but it's anyone's race with Ayana and Jepchirchir tight in step with a km to go.
Women's race coming down to a sprint finish obviously favouring Obiri.
Unsurprisingly, Obiri drops the hammer with 300m to go and goes clear. Jepchirchir second, Ayana third. Maybe 4 seconds between the top 3.
Charlotte Purdue first Brit, 1:10:09. 5th Ov.
1. Hellen Obiri 🇰🇪 1:07:05
2. Peres Jepchirchir 🇰🇪 1:07:07
3. Almaz Ayana 🇪🇹 1:07:10
Missed the break in the men's race, Jacob is 50 meters clear at mile 9.
Kiplimo dominant, takes it in 59:32. Barega second in 60:38. Bekele 61:00 flat for third.
Bekele is a lazy sod.
Jacob wins in 59:32 and Bekele was third exactly at 61 min. Barega with a good showing in second in his debut after a track season that left him cooked
That was a good showing for Bekele and I think he could have been closer to 60 flat if he'd run a bit more conservatively. I'm taking the positive that he's fit and I think he'll be ready for London. Still missed Geb's vet-40 record though
