That how mantz always looks though. From almost step one he looks like he's doing work. But he still seems to perform pretty well.

There has been a move made in the women's race, according to the Media Center. Mile 7 in 5:08. EB to the front. But of course we didn't get to see it.

Kipruto looks comfortable here, the only one (other than Kipchoge) who isn't looking around

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.
See this is really cool imo. Wish they'd talk about that more.
I wish they'd stfu about all things wheelchair.

Albertson has to make it stick this time, right? He can't keep going out at sub-2:05 pace and fading to 2:10
Sure he can

I tuned in at 7:14am (west coast) and as of 7:31 I have not seen a single shot of a runner. It is all 'chair and commercials.
I don't actually have anything against the wheelchair division, but it is totally out of proportion to the depth of the elite field, size of the non-elite wheelchair population, as well as the interest level among fans.
p.s. I am editing the post because we've had 8 straight minutes of running. That is more than most other media outlets throughout the year. So thank you, NBC!

albertson is in a dangerous place at the back,
easy to lose a couple steps and be out of it mentally00 -
I love seeing Connor Mantz in front of the lead pack through 15km. It seems like he is setting himself up for a disaster, but more more exciting to watch the Americans go for it.

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.
Exactly. The VAST majority of people watching go numb watching the same group of 10-20 runners trot along for the first hour to 90 minutes. Even I find it tedious when nothing is happening. Even I, a running fan, would fast-forward through the first hour of a marathon unless someone goes crazy until they collapse like at NYC. And actually the fun there didn't really start until past halfway anyway. An occasional check in with the pack to see if Mantz and Bates are still up there is all I need.

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
I don't know why the PIP concept is so difficult. In the time that we were gone watching wheelchair BS, the women's pack broke open and now, Bates, Linden, et al. are nowhere to be found. I wouldn't know anything about the paces if not for ROJO of all people.

It's the woke garbage. Focus on smallest, most victimized group of people in a situation.
That's media now.
