London Marathon 2016 - Official Thread

So it took me 15 minutes to get that video up.

MERGIA NEEDS TO BE DQD FOR THAT. I'M DEAD SERIOUS. THAT'S A BLATANT DQ. IF SHE WINS THIS, I MAY START A PETITION.

Kipchoge and Biwott still out for there afternoon stroll. No one else in sight. Not sure if anyone is catching Bekele in third, but I can tell you he isn't catching the guys out front.

Still on course record pace. The conditions have been perfect for a fast race

Men slowing down, just outside the WR pace at 35K.

Biwott looked like he skipped the water station. Do not sleep on Biwott- he has to get strategic and go early though. Would be insane if he breaks Kipchoge

SO back to the men's race. Biwott and Kipchoge through 35K together in 1:42:07 (2:03:06 race). Do they have anything left to break the WR?

I actually thought it was an attempt at a really bad joke...

If you watch it again though check out Keitany... doesn't seem like shes involved and then falls about two strides later. Weird.

I'd rather see a petition about how poor the broadcast coverage is. I've seen hardly any of the top men's race so far.

Bekele more than a minute back.

Kipchoge could run 50k in under 2:30

Should have kept sleeping through my alarm.

Couldn't care less about these British flunkies. Christ.

Where's Waldo?

Who has the better kick between Biwott and Kipchoge?

Cause neither of these guys look remotely in trouble.

World best already enroute in case anyone didn't hear

30k by 7 seconds

Wohoooo! Did you see THAT? Unbelievable they show this on TV!

... you'd have to think Kipchoge ...

I'd say clearly advantage Kipchoge but Biwott really impressed me in NY

Sara Hall finished at 2:30:06. Is that a PB for her?

Kipchoge looks to be slowly injecting pace but Biwott seems untroubled so far

They're running a bit slower down, doesn't look like there'll be a WR.
