I wonder if the WR will have any challenges/protests because of her shoes? I'm kind of giggling seeing EVERYONE using the same shoes. So much for those that say they aren't performance enhancing and tech doping.
I kind of wonder if other companies will just stop making racing flats. At this point, why would anyone want to buy any other shoe?
Because they are f-ing expensive and we all don't have $250 to spend on a pair of shoes that last 100 miles.
Dereba
Kosgei less than 5 miles to go! This tops what Eliud did yesterday.
Out with EPaulaO Cheats!!!!!!

Nobody has anything against wheel-chair racing; but, gee, there's 1,000s of runners for wheelers and we just missed a huge chunk of the runners' racing.
You WILL BE MADE to care about the wheel-chair racing. I agree, 30-40 wheel chair racers vs 45,000 runners and wheelchair getting nearly 50% of the coverage is ridiculous. Should we be suprised though? Probably not.
Jeez the NBC coverage is appalling. No idea why they keep repeating the same crap every year instead of implementing some simple improvements..

Because they’re poor.
Ya, there will be "budget" under $100 racing flats marketed as "entry level", but the days of adios boost, brooks hyperion, new balance 1400, etc. are over. No one is going to bother with these shoes. The amount of people who can afford those + race entries but doesn't have another 110$ isn't that high.
A straight-up "un-paid" series of advertisements - wonderful marathon coverage!
Cherono about to drop the hammer..........
Is Bashir Abdi going to run under 2:07 and better his own Belgian record ?

I wish there was an option for Americans to pay to stream BBC and Eurosport race coverage. At least for the Olympics and US trials, NBC wouldn't have any bullshit to show and will be forced to show the races.
15:57 for Kosgei from 30-35K

Kosgei ran 15:45 between 25-30k (2:14.02 Pace) she is picking it up 2:13? 2:12? Radcliffe's World Record is in trouble.
Hold on Brigid!

Yes, I'm surprised people act like the Vaporflys are too expensive but they'll buy other shoes in the $150-200 range. Also poors don't run marathons in the first place
This is considerably worse coverage than normal, which is really saying something.
