Official New York Marathon thread

Womens race is unreal!!! What a response. I can't believe Keitnay responded at all.

Men's race. Mutai's 4:31 21st mile has crushed it.

1 3 Mutai, Geoffrey KEN 30 1:40:53 +00:00.00 4:49

2 1 Gebremariam, Gebre ETH 27 1:40:56 +00:02.82 4:49

3 4 Kebede, Tsegaye ETH 24 1:40:58 +00:04.70 4:49

4 2 Mutai, Emmanuel KEN 27 1:40:58 +00:04.73 4:49

5 8 Kisorio, Mathew KEN 22 1:41:11 +00:17.93 4:50

6 6 Gharib, Jaouad MAR 39 1:41:18 +00:24.98 4:50

7 7 Keflezighi, Meb CA/USA 36 1:41:22 +00:29.01 4:50

8 17 Sisay, Ezkyas ETH 23 1:42:02 +01:09.46 4:52

For the women, going down a slight hill. Then a slight uphill when they turn onto Central Park South, with under mile to go.

Mary surges again.

25 miles for the women 5:53 for Keitany.

1 101 Keitany, Mary KEN 29 2:16:35 +00:00.00 5:28

2 106 Deba, Buzunesh ETH 24 2:16:36 +00:01.53 5:28

3 111 Dado, Firehiwot ETH 27 2:16:36 +00:01.56 5:28

mutai is throwing it down.

We have mandatory drug testing for everyone in the top 10, right? Can we even test for what these guys are on?

These are the BEST announcers in the history of the world.

Keitany was just taking a rest?! This is very strange to see as she responds after losing a 160 second lead. Now 3-time Rome champion Dado is running free to the finish!!

Are you watching Eurosport? Because if you are then you're listening to Tim Hutchings who is probably the best in the business. An amazing runner in his own right too. Great guy.

Geoffrey mutai's 22 mile split didn't record. I heard them say he ran 9:00 for his last t2 miles. If that was the case. It would be 1:45:22.

Nope, Universal Sports.

WHAT THE FU*K MEB!

Fu*k Sketchers!

I would like a link to that please!

Mutai is on 2:05:20 pace at 23 miles. But he's banging out 4:35s. He could run 2:04 high if he keeps hammering.

Third page of this thread near the top.

Was it Makau or G. Mutai that won the showdown between the two of them?

Me thinks those 2 are the best marathoners in the world right now.
