I think so. I'm not trained in Italian though.
anyone's stream working?
Modern technology is amazing. I turned on zenmate and am watching it live now.
Temps are 2 celsius which is 35.6 F.
Working right now.
yup. No need for an Italian IP.
Anyone remember the name of the big xc meet Ritzenhein won about 10 years ago. An insider told me the organizers told the Kenyans not to break it open early so they let Ritz get ahead and couldn't catch him.
I wonder if the same instructions are out here as we've got white gilrs out front.
I loved the start. It starts on the outside of a track.nowq they are running by volleyball courts.
xc is the best.
And then just as I say that. The top 6 turn into African born runners.
Why isn't google translate working? I can't understand the announcers.

I can help witn that...
Kind of weird how technology works. The illegal stream is 20 seconds ahead of the official RAI sport stream.
6:21 for the first loop which I assume is 2k? Africans going 1-6. Lead pack is down to 5 - Tirop. Obirio, Cheypgego, Diro and Alamrew.
Burka (I think) is falling back.
The chase pack was 6:58 .
These women aren't fooling around. Obiri is hammering this and nwo three women are pulling away.
Any noteworthy Americans in this race?

Hey Rojo!
Why don't you address the deleting of perfectly fine posts on the 2017 suggestions thread?
Thanks.
Obiri and Chepyegon have gapped the field. Reigning world xc champ Tirop is about 15 meters behind in third.
Someone asked about Americans. None are entered.
They hammered the 2nd loop in 5:58. And are crushing it.
Here are the leaders at 3k:

14 minutes in and Obiri is doing her best to drop Chepyegon. She certainly has moved up well from 1500. you are seeing here why she beat Ayana in Rio.
And 15 minutes in it looks like Obiri has done it and broken free.
Watching someone just hammer from the front is fun. I hope Mo Farah is watching this. This would be great practice on how to set a WR.
15:28 at 5k. Obiri has this.
Obiri has won the 60th Campaccio XC.
