Official 2021 New York City Marathon discussion thread

Weather looks the exact same as for yesterday's 5K. No wind, low 40s, may need the sunglasses in an hour. The gloves/hats should be coming off by the time they exit Brooklyn.

I got ESPN+ to watch this event and NCAAs and apparently you still can't actually watch anything airing on the actual ESPN channels without a TV provider or Live TV subscription. I hate the modern streaming landscape.

So you hate paying for a service … we just found a liberal cvnt.

Chill.

10 years ago everyone had cable/satellite, then those companies said we could cancel all that and pay for services à la carte. Now they are switching back to the cable/satellite model, and that’s frustrating.

If calling out businesses for boneheaded decisions makes one a liberal cvnt, then I suppose I am also one of those.

The thing is, I sign up for ESPN+ expecting to get all the content from ESPN. ESPN+ still shows many live events that I like. But apparently, you still need some kind of live TV subscription to watch what is airing on the ESPN cable channels. Many people had the same issue with the Olympics and Peacock. I remember a few Olympics ago, I was able to get a simple temporary subscription and watch everything. No TV provider this, live TV that. At this point, you would think that a network's streaming service would provide the option to access everything produced by that network without multiple subscriptions, live and on demand.

Bekele -- CR

Nageeye -- CR

Kandie -- 62:18, then DNF

Ghebreslassie -- is back

Droddy -- Eugene-bound if he wears Nike

Hawkins -- ahead of Droddy

Ward -- ahead of True

True -- 2:12:49

track/marathons have hit a new low

The marathon is supposed to be on ESPN2 right now and I tune in to find not the race but spike ball. NYC Marathon cut for spike ball - how low can the sport sink

Lagat doing coverage. Ugh.

I've got it on ESPN2. They call out Peres and Molly at the beginning and Abdi N. and Ben True. No mention of Bekele. Maybe someone doesn't want to jinx him.

Wait, has it been kicked to ESPN3 and not even on cable? Might be a local programming decision.

Is it not ok to hit on women??

Seriously, if your single and like a woman are you supposed to run away or something ?

Help me understand.

My guess is the OP might be in NY where it's blacked out. Have to watch on ABC there.

Alexi Pappas got into the elite women’s field? Lol

Two minutes in and don’t like Molly’s furrowed brow. Pain??

I have been following this sport for many years and have never read such negative thoughts about Lagat. Do other people think this way to? What is this referring to?

We'll be posting our live updates also on this page: https://www.letsrun.com/news/2021/11/live-updates-2021-new-york-city-marathon-pro-races/
