joggers world said Nyamboki was holding his own at mile 17

I could see Cheriyout breathe before, it's wet and cold. You're splitting hair's here.

What place is the Ethiopian runner (Robe) in?

The baa site is crap. Do you think they realized how many people would be hitting the site, since there was so little tv coverage?

Grigoriava will win, it's over.

Ya think?

Chasing Kimbia just went down. I love it.

WOMEN'S FINISH>> Grigoryeva will win. She won Los Angeles a year ago in 2:25:10, her PR. She was bronze medalist at 10,000 in the European Champs last summer, 30:33. She's a 33 yr old Russian, and was with the pack all the way. She crosses the line in 2:29:17

Runners world website says: "SORRY, PRESS ROOM LOST INTERNET ACCESS", so apparently the problem was the Boston marathon's actual race site, not the website or Wbz radio crew I guess. Luckily we have trustworthy Eurosport. :)

11:58 At 35K (1:52:36) Cheruiyot holds the lead from Kwambai, James Koskei, Ben Maiyo, Kiagoro and Teferi Wodajo (ETH).

12:00 At 35k, Peter Gilmore was clocked at 1:53:12.

12:02 At 23, the split is 1:58:40 (4:45). Only three men remain as true contenders - Cheruiyot, the defending champion, James Kwambai, and Kiagoro - though the latter is beginning to allow daylight to open.

Robert C!
