We don't seem to be missing much.

I really wish the wheel chair racers would have their own race and stay away from running road races.

Hello I just find your website. My apartment is along the route. This is a nice day for race. I saw a white man in front, would this have been Mike Rossi?

Who is the tall white guy in light blue towards the back of the lead men's pack?

Porzingas

You heard it here first: Derrick for the W.

Bottom left of the screen, two text boxes, the one on the right is for English language. British commentary, don't know who it is

Best stream so far!

Also I mentioned Derrick and Rupp, but Chelanga is also in the lead group and Andrew Bumbalough is just at the back trying to hold on.

I got another family member watching the race on tv with me. THey do not want to reveal their identity. THey aren't a running fan but even they are annoyed by all of the wheelchair coverage

"They show so much wheelchair coverage but only men's wheelchair."

Emmanuel Bett to the front and he drops the fastest mile of the race (4:56) during mile 15. Race getting going now. Lead pack is 10-15, Derrick and Rupp are the two Americans left at the front.

I see at least a couple more Americans- Bumby, Estrada

Also today, the Eindhoven Marathon (The Netherlands) was won in 2:06:13...

Dibaba does not like people to draft her. She will zig zag like crazy. ...Kipchoge did the same thing to lilesa( Olympics) and Adola( London).

You should love your fellow paralyzed athletes.

MAGA

Fun to hear the british announcer relish pronouncing the runners names. He loves to roll each beat around his mouth. Sometimes even repeating the name with a more emphatic delivery.

This isn't shocking considering the rhetoric you use on here all the time. In other news, the Pope is still Catholic.
