Not to pile on BUT NO coverage on CBS of Men OR Women's race in 15 minutes now.
It's almost as if they think running is boring and don't want to show it uninterrupted. No it's like baseball, you storytell, build the drama. You can't cut back and forth.
They miss the break more than half the time showing ofher stuff too. Like interviewing the new ball girl when the winning home run is hit?
Shalane Flanagan on local CBS broadcast noted Degefa looks good as she just jumped over a water puddle.

Yeah NASCAR guy, added him to my tracker, hard to believe he'll break 3 indeed !
Yep, dude in shooting for 3 hours, 21:22 at 5k for Bib 4848
I'm getting a headache watching this broadcast.

I WISH THEY WOULD SHOW THIS
I'm sure a bunch of Americans running 2:08:45 pace through 15K will in no way come back to bite them in the ass later.
Although I would love to be wrong and a bunch of Americans actually do run sub-2:10.
7 American men on sub-2:09 pace at 15k

EPO is one hell of a drug...
Degefa's lead is almost 2:30 minutes

Someone is going to hand Degefa a suitcase full of bricks to carry in the hills...but she may be 3 minutes ahead by then.
What about handing her a piano to carry?

PIx of Ball Girl will be needed to fully assess your hypothetical

Hasay looks great and Des looks a little weak
Des looked "weak" last year. She was thinking of dropping out. And then . . . she won.

Can you imagine if they cut away from 90% of the first half of an NBA Finals matchup to show wheelchair basketball?
Or if they cut away from yesterday's final round Master Coverage and Tiger's magnificent triumph and instead showed highlights of the Master's par-3 contest.
