Eurosport has a fairly good coverage. decent commentary. no breaks. no hobby runners. however, not a lot of women racing and still too much wheelchair-borness.

So Hissan is going to try and go out in a 66min Half?
Her track fitness indicates she is probably a 2:16 gal, per the calculator, so will she blow up?
Nothing Hassan does surprises me any more. My favorite female distance runner on the circuit/roads. She just goes for it every damn time.
It definitely makes it interesting.

Pathetic, actually.
The best in the world are chasing the WR.
America's best are just trying to get into the Olympics.
Think about that.
Name 1 race where the field went with the leader/pacers on WR pace
You just don't get it.
Mateiko looking very relaxed.

I've seen a combined total of about 90 seconds of the women's race so far, but lots of the wheelchair races. This is pathetic 😮💨
They have cameras on both male and female wheelchair competitors but none on the leading American men or women.

Think about that.
Think about the fact that the "best in the world" here are doped to the gills. Less testing on the roads vs track, so much easier to get away with. Something Americans aren't quite able to do

But we are seeing a gap forming.
At 15k, Mantz/Rupp/Chelanga at 2:07:low pace.
Thru 15k
Kiptum 43:09 (2:01:23)
Mateiko 43:09 (2:01:23)
Rupp: 45:12 (2:07:08)
Mantz: 45:11 (2:07:05)
Chepngetich: 46:36 (2:11:05)
Hassan: 46:37 (2:11:07)
And also thru 10k
Matt Choi: 43:18 (1:59:59)
Waiting breathlessly for Carrie Tollefson's analysis of the final miles based on the athletes' 1500 meter PR.
The wheelchair fields can't finish soon enough.
