Huh? Why does everything have to be political? Like for f$%K sake must be exhausting to have that be your whole identity. The sh!tty wheel chair coverage has nothing to do with politics...
CRs gotta go down today. We're going to have ~15 men/15 women on sub-2:03/2:20 pace at halfway. Too many people in there to have all of them fall off.
61:52 at the half, having slowed down in the last 6k. They’d have to split 61:10 for the second half to break the CR, which in this era isn’t inconceivable, but highly unlikely.
Women’s CR on the other hand should be obliterated
Coverage is bad for every major marathon. It's not political -- it's driven by money. Execs think this kind of coverage will keep people tuned in. There are few people tuned in who can name everyone in the lead pack. So they should do the work to hype up the elite side of the sport & cover the racing. LRC should do some digging and find out why the elite side of races are (always) covered like this.
