Official 2019 New York City Marathon Discussion Thread

JOYCILINE JEPKOSGEI

Linden Taylor 6th & 7th about 3 seconds apart. 2:26 :45 ish

Desi 6th three seconds before Taylor.

If you can get international feed switch to that.

ABc/ESPN is showing women's finishers and missing men's race. International feed was showing split screen and now is showing men's race exclusively.

Holy crap, now they're interviewing women's winner instead of showing men's race.

Des was the first finisher in basketball shorts, I believe.

Interview is so hard to hear with Joyciline they were forced to do split screen on ESPN thankfully.

They should have been doing split screen for last 5 minutes.

Kamworor putting in the surge!

And now Kamworor makes the break.

Was that Shalane who totally butchered Tegla Laroupe’s name on the broadcast?

Dropped him like a stone

Honestly, this is the worst sporting event coverage I have ever seen I my life. Honestly, I think this is the reason interest in track and running and even cycling is faltering. It's all because of really shitty coverage.

I hope Aussies Sinead Diver & Allie Pashley get the credit they deserve, great race from both of them.

Halfway 64:49

Mile 14: 5:01 Brett Robinson now going to the front and opening up a gap

Mile 15: Robinson caught just before he comes off the bridge. Eight guys in lead pack at the moment, no Americans.

Mile 16: 4:56 Now Ward and Abdi have caught up to leaders. 12 men together.

Mile 17: 5:00

Mile 18: 4:53

Mile 19: 5:04 Five guys breaking away -- korir, kamworor, gebre, Kitata, tola

Mile 20: 4:47

Mile 21: 5:08 Kitata getting dropped right now. Down to four guys.

Mile 22: 4:36

Mile 23: 4:36 Kamworor attacking viciously, it’s him and Korir as they’ve dropped the other two. Just before 24 miles, Kamworor takes off. Korir can’t respond.

Mile 24: 4:40 for Kam. 4:47 for Korir. 4:50 for Gebre, 5:05 for Tola.

Kam to the lead at 1:57:20 mark.

Agreed. Amazing run by Sinead

There's some irony in that statement...

UGH, absolutely embarrassing interview with winner Jepkosgi. Typical clueless US reporter using big words, idioms etc... leaving Jepkosgei almost speechless. Meanwhile Kamworor takes his rightful place at the front, with Korir in 2nd but hurting and our "club runner" Gebre in 3rd.

Easy win for Kamworor. Him + Bekele + Kipchoge could be fun in Tokyo/Sapporo
