they said the wheelchair guys reach speeds of 50mph on downhills. If that isn't a reason to scrap them from running events then I don't know what is. They don't belong in foot races. Not slamming them. It is just a different sport.

I think they just called Ernst Van Dyk the most decorated runner in Boston Marathon history

Which link do you click on? Best I can get is "Sorry, this video is not available, please check back later." And I am in the US.

It is a completely different sport. However, the roads are available so why not take advantage? They'd never close them to traffic for a wheelchair race alone.

I guess it's local only. Does VPN help get you passed that?

Why not also make it a cycling event open to age categories too? Since the roads are closed and all.

Just finished up a few miles on the harbor and almost zero wind this morning. It’s almost a perfect day.

Just a few ideas:
- They should have cameras for the elite runners warming up. Don't get up in their face but just observe how they're feeling, prepping, warming up, etc
- The wheelchair race should really just be a course preview, similar to as if someone were giving a tour of the course in a car. No need for narrow shots of these folks but use a wide angle and show us the course surroundings.

Do they have a non-binary division in the push rim? Are they drug tested as well? Ok I’m done posting.

I remember seeing racing chairs in the 80s that still had 4 wheels and were made of metal. Guys had on leather garden gloves covered in duct tape. These chairs today are light years beyond those old days. Molded carbon fiber, integrated electronics. Holy cow, these things are impressive.
