Official 2017 Millrose Games Live Discussion Thread

A commercial during a 2 mile, good stuff.

Commercial in a race over 1 mile? Typical NBC

came here to comment on the same BS. way to go NBC

this beefcake is a little slow but its not clear if anyone would go with him if he ran any faster.

centro is about to throw it down, looks great.

ben true, professional LRC hater, with the win.

finish line tape in lane 2, thanks for coming to the millrose games betsy.

with better pacing, butchart would've had that thing. unfortuantely lawi "i stay in and finish" lalang, left him high and dry with 1000m to run...

Great times! About a 7:35-36 3k equivalent.

She was making way for a slower runner; you can see him pass on the inside of her with True and Hill about 10-20 meters from finish. Probably had time to get back to lane one, but do you move the target with the leaders kicking all out and that close to the line?

It's a race! Do you want the pacer to hand him off at the finish line? He was carried through the first 2k by the pacers and the 1200 was racing. The pacer isn't supposed to determine the race- it's a race for a reason, not a time trial.

Lawi ruined that race after 1800m. Butchart made the first effort to get around, but Lalang made everyone else decide if they wanted to waste energy to get around. Take the cash and let the boys actually race! Made Centro & Co. look bad.

WTF Montano has an iPod on her?

free stream?

really obvious question wrote:

on air. NBC

hah NBC skipping the high school mile as if more viewers would watch for the women's 500.
