Each marathon thread we have the same group of posters complaining about awful coverage.
There are loads of alternative streams out there with great, unbroken coverage. Switch to one of those....or stay with ESPN and pay your "idiot tax" which in this case is poor coverage.
This is crazy. Mary Keitany just ran mile 16-18 in 9:53. 4:55 - 4:58!!!
really disappointed with Desi today!
Tusa "stopped" now, Keitany alone
The chase pack has reached Kitata.
Keitany's race to win, but Vivian is not out of it yet........
Mary's alone! Who from the second pack will come through? I think Huddle has a good chance.
some runners can not shift gears like that, even though the pace was easy, going from high 5;40s to 5:00 is tough to do
Lead pack of men is down to 5 but here is the top 30 at halfway.
Men are running fast. Remember in the history of NY, only 5 men have ever run under 2:08 and we have 5 men on that pace right now!!

Never expected anything from her. Everybody knows she won the Boston because the weather was bad that day.
Can we just talk about how most of the elites are heel striking?
Is there a mens race today?
Keitany 25 to 30k would have won yesterday's 5k. Whaaaaat

ESPN is the only coverage that is crappy. The coverage on the world major marathons on the olympic channel is much better. Much less BS.
Keitany 15:20 from 25k to 30k!

The 5:04 up the 59th bridge is going to destroy the top three girls. Followed by the 4:57 down the bridge. That is a tough mile (raced NYC twice- experienced it). They will break and come back to Vivian. Keitany may be able to hold, but NYC catches up with you.
"May be able"? You clearly have no idea how good she is.
Kenya is even getting bettter coverage.
Ok, the coverage sucks wrote:
I’m here because I can’t watch it in TV. About half the posts are complaining about the Tv coverage. Repeatedly by the same people. Can we have two threads - one about the race and a separate one to complain about the TV coverage?
Or just accept the coverage sucks and stop talking about it?
Or at least include one race factvwith the coverage complaint?
Please STOP complaining about the complaints about the terrible tv coverage.
