London Marathon 2016 - Official Thread

Idk if NBC Sports has access to all the feeds, but this is poor. No use of split-screen at all, showing one-armed guy finish instead of women's race in final miles.

2:02:40 pace at 30K.

Bekele looking behind him. Never a good sign.

Sorry guys

If this is his 90% and in Rio he's at 100%, then sorry Eliud

Apparently bekele hasn't even run marathon distance in training for this

Bekele's pulling that same move he did on Mo in the 1/2 a few years ago. :)

Biwott looks like he has a second wind.

Kipchoge still looks like he isn't trying.

This is going to be interesting

That would be epic.

But I think he would have needed to do that at mile 4, not mile 14!

first off/ mad respect to Bekele for even being in the game so late in the race

What happened to Kimetto?

Anyone knows who is the better sprinter between Sumgong and Tufa?

Tufa struggling.

2:15 so far for the ladies. Will they break the course record?

Seriously. Kipchoge looks so good @ marathon.

C'mon Kenny. If these guys are on WR pace then 90% fit is enough to bring this thing home in a strong time.

SUMGONG DROPPING TUFA!!

Have been trying to pull up BBC somehow for 2 hours. No luck. NBCSN is beyond awful.

Sumgong 5 metres ahead of Tufa.

Sumgong is off.

So it took me 15 minutes to get that video up. Now I see Sumgong in the lead.

SHE NEEDS TO BE DQD FOR THAT. I'M DEAD SERIOUS. THAT'S A BLATANT DQ. IF SHE WINS THIS, I MAY START A PETITION.

She needs to undergo concusssion protocol before the kick

Kimetto struggled with the early searing pace and eventually dropped off

Why would one BQ her for that, that's Rossi-like and enabling and such!

Sumgonmg looks to have 5-10M on tufa
