They finally show Degefa again and she's in a completely different town than the other women.
There is a large group of men running 2:08 pace. They are going to blow up spectacularly.
Why would a group of 2:04 marathoners blow up running 2:08 pace?
This coverage is abysmal.

Wheelchair race is public announcement. They only show it to I don't know what.
I am personally looking forward to watching the womens wheel chair race winner listen to the national anthem. That's gonna rock!
world class garbage coverage....
Has anyone found any other coverage of the race? Any links for European coverage we can try?
the tracker is at
http://boston-iframe.r.mikatiming.de/2019/
what bib numbers are in the mass start vs elite?
unless there is a tailwind, many of the american women are still going too hot, the only sane pace so far seems to be Sarah Sellers who apparently is trying to make the new IAAF 2:29:30 standard
but wait, does Boston even qualify for IAAF times? I know the top 10 make it as WMM but does 2:29:30 qualify on this course if it's not record eligible in the first place?
So is Yuki not in the lead pack? Wasn't he in all yellow?

The woman's wheelchair awards ceremony.
Look, I'm all for inclusion but this local affiliate needs to understand that 99.99% of people ARE NOT tuning in for the wheelchair races. Or maybe they just don't care.

This is beyond ridiculous at this point. More than 90% of the coverage has been wheelchairs. You can't even tell that there's a foot race happening at all.
This is not NASCAR you don't need to see every lap we'll show you finish.-- NBC Sports
Someone is going to hand Degefa a suitcase full of bricks to carry in the hills...but she may be 3 minutes ahead by then.
This CBS Boston coverage is trash. Barely seen any of the marathon. It's been wheel chair racers then cut to commercial, rinse and repeat. I respect the wheel chair racers...but I want to watch the other race....
2h4 mn runner ,cruising at 2h8 pace they come to pick up money easy money
Did Hasay fall off the park already?
Dathan Ritz update?
