So many sob stories on BBC and so little marathon.
You don't say...bring us back the Berlin coverage, none of that crap !
Having said that, that UA chick is rather good looking, lots of make-up for a marathon though ;-)

Ngugi isn't aiming for a top 3. This is the first field where there's an absolutely stellar field and she is aiming for 2:19:00. The lead pack is running at right around WR pace right now.
Hoping for a big sub 2:10 for Brett Robinson and sub 2:12 for Ed Goddard. Aussie Aussie Aussie!!

Flotrack’s coverage has no commentators 👎🏻
Good morning from London, everyone. Respect for the Americans getting up at 4 a.m. (or earlier) for this one.
Is this true? Are there still no commentators on FloTrack's feed?
Yes. It is a just a raw feed (sound but no commentators) -- 28 minutes into womens race. As a English spectator just yelled -- "Come on now!"
nasty drafting by the number 2 wheelchair person as they go through rotherhithe.
rotherhithe - where the pilgrim fathers left from. mayflower and all that.

Thanks for the heads up!
Eight women in the lead group through 10k in London, they come through in 32:18 (16:01-16:17). Reminder that the first 5k is downhill. That's 2:16:15 pace. Yalemzerf Yehualaw, Joyciline Jepkosgei, Ashete Bekere, Joan Melly, Judith Korir, Sutume Kebede, Alemu Megertu, and Hiwot Gebrekidan comprise the lead pack.
bit late to sing god save the queen now
God save the King 🎵🎶🎵🎶
When are we going to stop doing this stuff for the queen? Surely enough's enough.
This isn’t letsroll.
Wow, the women's race gets no coverage. BBC1 is interviewing women soccer players and still talking about the Queen.
It’s like they were literally waiting until the men’s introductions, etc., to bring in the commentators on FloTrack, but they’re on now. Whew!
Bekele looking fit
