Coolsaet half? Thanks.

1:05:05 at half, 1:17:06 at 25k (just over 2:10 pace)

They're all looking strong

W at mile 23 - 2 kips side by side at the lead and Dib slowly gaining - about 10sec back now

Mo is going to be 0-3 since last year in road races!

Coolsaet and Vail 65:05 at half, 77:06 at 25k. Dead on 2:10 pace!!!

Anyone else in Kenya/Africa getting signal interference on Supersport 5?

Shaping up to be a great race, pacemakers blowing it is perhaps a blessing in disguise.

Mo Farah is right on a pacemaker's shoulder, according to the English video feed posted on this thread.

mo's epo not kicking in

looks like renato is right

Women's race

19 - 520

20 - 521

21 - 532

22 - 532

23 - 527

Dibaba isn't done. She's still within striking distance.

IT'S REALLY ABSURD THAT THERE IS A MEN'S RACE AND WOMEN'S RACE AT THE SAME TIME. Seriously, you can barely pay attention to either one.

At this point my prediction for Mo is 2:08:40s

Yikes. Cutting it close! :)

Kipchoche alone up front in Rotterdam, looking to go sub 2:05.

This is going to be one of the sickest last 10ks ever. Hard to see any of Mutai/Kebede/Kipsang giving an inch.

Coolsaet is a metronome targeting the Canadian record.

"Partially sighted" runner looking over his shoulder?

It's 2014, you'd think the 2 screens view would be permanently used at this point

They all look good don't they
