Official 2023 New York City Marathon Discussion Thread

What's really crazy is that LR posters will waste millions more pixels and their time complaining for pages and pages that network marathon coverage isn't up to their standards. We get it -- you're super knowledgable and hardcore with insights ordinary runners can't begin to grasp. Now just enjoy the fact that there's national TV coverage of the race.

Cam Levins has been dropped by Cheserek in the chase pack.

Haha...xenophobic and racist posts all over this thread and the only one removed is the anti-Conservative post I made.

What’s really crazy is that YOU will waste millions more pixels and your time complaining for pages about other peoples complaining.

Gidey and Obiri can make up a lot of that depending on when they decide to go

The only racist is you, go away knucklehead

I wanna hear from RUPP.

If you are just logging on now and missed the first half, you haven't missed much.

Nope, I've made my point. Keep on with the whining.

I don’t really disagree with you, but I don’t like how you’re so consumed by this complaint. Seems like the owner of “the internet’s home of elite distance running” should use their platform better than to rant about this.

This was a good call, he looks great right now

LOL what have I said that's racist? What an idiot. Must be a Conservative.

Why can't we hear more from Des on at least the app feed? She told Carrie Gidey looks bored.

why is the times is slow this year? 2:08 is slow by today standards

he quit already and got out of the scooter

Okay so here’s something that really grinds my gears. A Canadian has NEVER won the NYC marathon, and this year Levins was by far the best hope to do that since he’s on a real tear the past couple years. Announcers didn’t mention anything other than “and the elite men are in front with Levins a bit behind them”.

Do these announcers not follow the sport and just do some last minute studying the night before the broadcast to catch up on all big names? We need the British dudes that do the track broadcasts and actually know and appreciate the sport.

Thanks, that’s more like it.

Great racer obviously, and also fluent in English but poor commentator
