Official 2016 Boston Marathon Live Discussion Thread

And now he is demanding the male winner take a picture holding the towel over his head

Oh no the translators back I wonder what he said to him

Don't they get it that interviews can be taped and played back when there is a suitable lull in the race drama?

Men's winner would have been two miles behind Mutai's 2011 win.

It's an Olympic year, for many Boston is either too close to the trials or the Olympic marathon.

Neely Spence Gracey 2:35 flat. 9th overall, 1st American female.

Also why did the nbcsn stream (at least through the app) even need to have commercial breaks. All the commercials were for the rio olympics on nbc

Shalane on NBCSN called today a NO EXCUSE DAY.

Can someone post the final time and the splits of the final 3.2 miles?

"All right very good"...The interviewer clearly saw that he was getting nowhere

Never run boston the old dude is killing me. He doesn't seem to understand the idea of personal space!

I'd rather watch a ton of commercials than listen to Larry Rawson.

Zachary hine 2:21:37. 10th overall, top American.

Wow Tiki Gelana looked like a fat hobby jogger!

Zach Hine is 1st American with a 2:21

Kind of weird that that is good for 10th overall

Speaks volumes about the field.

The women's race is why no one respects runners. It's easy to look at them and think you could do that. They look like they are jogging in the park

Idiot.

The first sentence might be too strong. But the 2nd and 3rd are absolutely true. Sorry, someone else is the idiot.

No. The first guy is an idiot alright. Maybe you too?
