This is a World Marathon Major, for Pete’s sake.
Imagine a network showing even a single feel-good clip on STEM classes in the middle of an NFL playoff. Would not happen. Yet we have to suffer thru more of this tripe than actual race coverage. Pathetic. Why bother covering it at all.
cheers

They're both British?
Tim Hutchings and James Thie. Thie was the one with the LRC shout out
Looks like Vivian and Shalane are working together. But that's what? 100m gap, already?
Does Tim Ritchie always wear that necklace during races? That seems like it would be insanely distracting just bouncing around like that for over 2 hours. It was flying all over the place.

Yep,pack needs to stay close, they are still in race
You know, we b*tch all the time about terrible marathon coverage and networks missing breaks.
This is the first time I can remember networks actively cutting away from a break WHILE IT IS IN PROGRESS!!!
All for show. Using winning Boston given the conditions as a predictor of future success was wrong.
Since the start of the women's race 1:27:00 ago, the elites have been on the screen for a total of ~29:45.
OMG AN AIRTRAFFIC CONTROLLER!!!!!! OMG HE KNOWS SULLY!!!!

And ESPN is a SPORTS channel. This is worse than local coverage where they feature local high school bands playing on the corner.
sage steele is beautiful but these human interest stories suck
What the F am I watching right now?
Top 26 men at mile 11 with their last mile split. American Shadrack Biwott went way back with a 5:16 on that mile.
