Official 2025 Chicago Marathon Live Discussion Thread (Race is at 8:30 am ET)

When is Nike going to come up with Super Wheelchairs?

Why cover the actual racing when we can have an interview with Marcel Hug

COME ON

Hard to dope a wheelchair.

At this point, it’s a parody of woke coverage.

I know we have a lot of liberals here, but can you at least have the decency to admit that this is absurd.

Just when you think they've figured out the split screen they pull this bs

From the tracker it seems that he and his pack have opened a lead on Linkletter and Kiptoo, who are now both .2km back.

Too bad we cant even get this kind of coverage from THE OFFICIAL BROADCAST

Rupp 2:08:52 pace at 30k.

Jacob 'Pride of Nairobi' Kiplimo

I'm almost certain that the broadcast shows so much wheelchair footage to ragebait us, I have no proof but that can be the only explanation. Even from a profit lens, there's no way the average person wants to watch a wheelchair race or interview while a literal world record happening

Marcel - 2nd place was 40 minutes behind you. Do you think you earned your victory?

Apparently, next year they’re gonna have a trans wheelchair division.

Pretty excited to near from the non-binary wheelchair winner next

agreed, it's not about it not holding up legally, but my god how boring aren't the (what feels like automated AI) non stop posts about doping

I turned on the race around 945am to catch the second half. I have seen about 2 minutes of the men's race and 1 minute of the women's race in the last 18 minutes, as most of it the coverage has been the women's wheelchair race and an interview of the men's wheelchair leader. I truly don't want to be an a**hole or lack compassion but it is really beyond comprehension to me.

Mantz on 2:04:20 pace at 30k. He'll have to keep pushing for the AR, because if he slips, Wesley Kiptoo is on 2:05:05 pace...

Any updates on the American women?

Why are you making it a political thing? I'm sure there are disabled people who vote Republican.
