It's on Eurosport.
Although 2:27 pace is not even worth tuning in for. The lack of fast times means there will be a real change in "major" marathon races.

If I have Nord VPN and can set an international link - is there a free stream anywhere? I take it that the Streamlab links in the chat are dangerous.

Paralympian Amanda McGrory gets a thumbs up for her wheelchair analysis. Amanda provided relevant information and has announcing talent!

How easy would it have been to put Rod Dixon in as the color commentator for the men. 40 years since his thrilling win in 83. He is in town, well spoken and a legend. ESPN could have had a field day with side vignettes of Rod's win and career. The idiocy of US marathon production crews is astounding.

Actually, I vow to keep the ESPN broadcast for as long as possible so I can note how bad it is.
Can we note down time stamps of the worse aspects of it so I can make a lowlight clip about this broadcast, which I can put up on youtube, and that will accompany my final column on Letsrun as I'll be finally cancelled by the PC police?
You must live a miserable life. Do you EVER have anything positive to say?
Not today.
They just gave us an hour of the wheelchair races and can't even point out that the women's course record DID just fall. The men's and women's wheelchair races started at different times.Catherine just DESTROYED the course record yet Jon Anderson said she didn't break it.

You'll find it on YouTube, no VPN needed. Just search for NYC marathon 2023 and cycle through you'll see the eurosport feed.

BWAH. Kosgei had to try 8 times to get those little water cups from the volunteers. She looked disgusted at the cup she finally got but was empty from spillage. Ha, it's hard to be a normie.

I love how they tried to cut to Rupp, couldn’t, then insulted him and never came back to him again
Glad I wasn’t the only one who caught this. Brutal telling him “at least this time you’ll be able to finish the course” wtf broadcaster

Set VPN to Spain and watch this video free (but turn off sound):
In a separate tab, open this video and turn the sound on for US commentary:

The women hit 15k in 52:29 (25 seconds slower than in 2021 when they nearly go the course record).
Then they ran 5:43, 5:45 for miles 10 and 11. 5:44 for mile 12. All you need to know is Molly Huddle was leading at 11.
20 split is 70:20. In 2021 they split 68:59 so they're now 1:21 down.
***
Former champ Albert Korir started pushing the pace and mile 8 was 4:40 and mile 9 unofficial 4:30. That made the pack just 5 with it being Korir, former World champ Tamirat Tola, half marathon ace Jemal Yimer, NAIA star Zouhair Ralbi and Olympic medallist Abdi Nageeye.

Not the accent. He's not adding much at all. Anderson is having a very tough time playing off on him. Tough day here for Anderson.
I think that’s Rojo’s point. The color commentator should have great analysis or be a legend of the sport (or ideally, both). If that person has an accent, who cares.
But if you have someone who is neither a legend nor a good analyst, then at least have someone people can easily understand.
Lagat is terrible. An English language broadcast should have a commentator with a good command of the English language. That's not racist; that's being professional.
