This is gonna be a GREAT men's race. I'm not letting the announcers ruin it, ha!


It will be a great race.....unfortunately they will probably be interviewing some local pizza shop owner or a priest living in some obscure neighbourhood during the finish......oh we might even get some great cross training tips from the 3 knobs dressed in black

There would be outrage if during actual play during the SuperBowl, World Series, etc., they did some kind of individual stories about the athletes or fans, the neighborhood / culture of the area, or other junk like that as the action was going on. Yet, somehow with track and running, they find this okay...

As for the Americans
Fasil was the fastest at halfway but ran
16:31 from 20k to 25k so he's done if that split was right.


Nick A ran 16:13 from 20k to 25k so he's done as well


Jason Hartmann is doing the best. He went 15:27 (Still 5 minute pace from 20k to 25k). He's on 2:10 pace. See what he holds on to

Yes people are just happy to actaully get "some" coverage....then when we complain people respond by telling us to be grateful to have any at all....this is why things will noit change.

Anyways this is a great race....who do you think is goona break first? I say Merga starts pushing hard with Kebede, Wanjiru, and Kipruto close behind - Wanjiru drops first, then Merga. Kebede pulls away last 5k for decisive win

Yeah but they're both huge sporting events. Obviously the superbowl is bigger, but its an outrage that they think its alright to show these pointless movies in the middle of the event

As for the US women:
Desiree Davila 01:13:07 at half with Magdalena Lewy Boulet

The big news may be Joan Benoit Sameulson 1:21:09 halfway. She made it sound like 2:46 would be very hard. Well she's got some cushion now.

We have no commercials on this coverage. They ... wait. WTF is this story about the old guy? I see no reason for them to show that. Not one person watching this coverage has ANY interest in that sh**
