Official 2017 NYC Marathon Discussion Thread

Painful coverage on ESPN. It's like a bunch of commercials with a little bit of running. Amazing the comparison between the European broadcasts. Night and day. This is such garbage. Eurostream isn't working for me.

I think Flanagan is just tracking Keitany.

Women through 16 miles in 1:32:38, 2:31:47 pace

Men through 20k in 1:02:49, 2:12:31 pace

Gheb is taking off on the hill at the half!!

25k: 1:30:07 (17:47) Nine women in lead group, including Americans Flanagan and Tuliamuk. Sara Dossena -- an Italian triathlete making her marathon debut -- is also with the leaders.

ESPN viewers - y0ou are missing a big move in men's race.

Mile 11: 5:19 (55:46). Now 13 men in lead group thanks to that slow mile.

Mile 12: 4:57 (1:00:43) Ghebreslassie taking off just before 13 miles. Making a hard move as they climb up the Pulaski Bridge.

ABC seems to only have a finish cam right now.

Meb was doing the leading duties last time they showed the men.

Just go Eurosport stream everyone. Yes, there's commercials, but not nearly as many. The stream glitched once, but a couple of refreshes picked it back up. The ABC stream will only disappoint you.

Try hitting the refresh button under the stream

Dossena is a triathlete but has run 1: 10'38 for the half marathon which if faster than Kellyn Taylor.

He looked his he was booking it too. He must have gotten bored or something.

Gheb has looked strong from the beginning. He's leaving early. I don't think it's too early a surge.

"Woo! Woo! Uh huh! That's what I'm talkin' bout!"

Idiotic amount of effort to exert up that hill. Almost as idiotic as Rojo’s tweet.

Meb and Abdi dropped out of lead pack

6 men caught up with Gheb. Meb now in chase pack.

Meb has been dropped during one of the bridge crossings.

Eurosport commentator once Meb dropped off: "The cream are rising to the top" - does he not realize that Meb has won NYC and Boston?

Men through halfway in 1:06:09, 2:12:18 pace
