Great. So our guy who runs 2:14 goes and a 2:04 African guy doesn't.
are there not 64 total Kenyans and Ethiopians better than 2:08? Add Japanese and there must be. How does even 2:08 get a top 64 ranking?
The good, champion marathoners are now running 2 flat. I say 2:08 is unqualified. There should be a lead pack, and chase packs, but a 2:08 (who will probably go 2:15 in the oly conditions) is not chasing, just lagging. Clutters up the broadcast.
And just like every Olympic marathon, the US team will fare better, just like 2020 when the last American finished ahead of the 2nd and 3rd Japanese.
Every Olympic marathon? Seems a stretch. Give me a few days to fact check that.
Sorry to get back so soon. 1992 is the best answer. All three Japanese finished ahead of ALL three Americans. Your statement may be correct if you used the word most instead of every. Just a grammatical change required would be using the plural of marathon.
