Official 2014 TCS New York City Marathon Live Discussion Thread

Even when they had Rod Dixon running with the satellite dish on his head the coverage was more consistent than this

Chicago was waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy worse

American women filing in

Welcome to your coverage of the New York City Women's Marathon.

The women's camera worked. Why not send it back?

Is there a Men's race today?

Did Chicago not have the feed for the last 30 minutes of the men's race? Seems hard to top that

Really awesome to see a Norwegian lady finish 8th. Had been looking forward to that allllllllll day. Pathetic.

Can Meb catch Mutai for fourth?

Fvck ESPN eternally.

The media converage here in themedia room continues to be pretty bad. In NYC, ESPN is blacked out so we are watching the top 3 awards ceremony instead of an epic battle on the men's side.

What are they showing on ESPN.

Kipsang and Desisa are stride for stride in Central Park. Why they're not showing that on ESPN is beyond me.

Wow. They are doing top 3 awards instead of showing the men's race. Unbelievable.

I wonder if they are doing that because the men's feed is still out.

How many times can they say Wittenberg during the awards ceremony?

ESPN totally blew it. Period. They only have one camera on the men? Great job ESPN.

I've watched coverage of minor European 10ks steamed on a crappy laptop with far far far better coverage than this. This is offensively bad...

4:55 25th mile and yet there is no coverage.

Amazing. 1 mile to go.

This. They dropped the ball big time not realising this.
