I can't look at them...I am watching a wheelchair competitor being interviewed.

No Daniel Do Nasciementos?

Probably not. Marcel Hug is sponsored by Sauber Aerodynamics (the team behind Alfa Romeo Formel 1). So definitely a benefit there in building his chair.

Hopefully we can get back to the race now that the solo time trial wheel chair is done. Great effort for sure, but dudes are actually racing right now!!!!!!
I'm going to go with a different take, in light of all the ranting about the wheelchair coverage.
There's actually no racing at all going on in the men's and women's lead packs; they're all out for a group tempo run at the moment, with at least ten people going through the time checks at the same time. They'll get plenty of dedicated coverage when the racing matters (which, right now, isn't very interesting). Celebrate the wheelers while they're doing their thing and setting course records, and then give me the running when the men's and women's races start blowing up.

Look at Mantz and then look at Kipchoge. Mantz is absolutely working and Kipchoge looks like he’s out for a Sunday jog.
Mantz always looks like he's working. Top comment on his 2021 xc win was "Mantz really started his kick from 10k out"

I wish I could see that. I'm watching an interview with a wheelchair winner. Haven't seen more than 10 seconds of runners since like 20 mins ago.

Wonderful, maybe we'll be done with the women's wheelchair finish and interview in an hour or so.

Have the running races started yet? All I see is wheelchair stuff.
Please make it stop. Please.

Why would you assume that? The horrendous coverage is intentional.. focus on the feel good storylines, not on any actual racing.
This is what you get with the WOKE crap.
It trivializes and ruins everything.

I’d like to, but instead I’m looking at a lady in a wheelchair

But Mantz ALWAYS looks like that. Back in NCAA XC, he looked like he was absolutely dying while taking the lead and crushing everyone. It's just... how he looks?

This is the most time I’ve ever seen devoted to the wheelchairs. This is really really disgusting.

I actually like the feel good storyline for the elite athletes, it humanizes them, which is good for the sport,, BUT AT LEAST GIVE US A PIP FOR THE RUNNING RACE

See this is really cool imo. Wish they'd talk about that more.

What is wrong with Mantz’s legs!? Is he one of the para athletes?
