Official 2020 US Olympic Marathon Trials Discussion Thread

This broadcast makes sense if you look at it as a 3-hour commercial for the Tokyo Olympics. Because that’s basically what it is.

Ato Boldon talking about his Olympic memories? Come on!

They’ll probably have a gymnast or swimmer on before the race is over. GMAFB!

Emma Bates looks really comfortable. Would be awesome if she popped off a great race today.

This broadcast is torture. Commercial on top of commercial and then Ato Boldon! Horrible.

Shrader now up 19 on Nestor at mile 11 and 50 sec on the field. Maybe slowing a bit finally

Shrader up by 51 sec. over the pack at Mile 11

I understand if they can't do split screen during commercials but at least do it when Ato Bolden is talking about sprints for 10 minutes.

Schrader is up 50secs.

51 seconds left at mile 11,

Walmsley 12th mile 11

And it looks like Augustus Maiyo is now leading a charge to reel in Schrader...lead cut to 50 seconds in the last mile.

this is torture

Unbelievable! Over 500 real women who qualified and they feature him. It’s all fun and games until they start winning.

At 10M:

Rupp 50:02

Ward 50:03

Walmsley 50:03

Mmmm, loving this calming meditation watching centennial park. At least it's better than commercials.

Did Schaefer just go 4:30 for his 9th mile?

Remember Jonathan Gauls posted his mile breakdown of the course and when to expect faster and slower splits during the race.

8-11 =16-19 are downhill.

Badass Roberta Groner is still in the lead pack. #JERSEYSTRONG

women's race totally up for grabs so far...big pack

Everybody knows Presta is better in high pressure situations

Two pregnant ladies in back of the pack
