Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

where is the clock? where are the splits? refering to olypmic chnanel

Thanks.

The NBC5 Chicago requires that you choose a "TV provider" lol.

Just tuned in. Where's Rupp in lead pack? Dropped already?

Didn't someone said he is in 2nd pack?

Lead pack pace is 4:32.

Is there non-american coverage or are we really stuck with local FOX commentators?

Looks like he's just behind the lead group

Kiptum went through 2 mile in ~9:10

Lead pack with Kiptum going out fast. No way Rupp id going to go out that fast and burn his race.

Link to spilts?

This is wild to me. How difficult is it to show distance as well as time? NBC's got me squinting to see what mile marker they're passing on the side of the screen.

It's American bro.. expect nothing less than the worst coverage for real racing fans

Link to this?

FloTrack has clock on screen and same feed as NBC. Need to use Canada as VPN. US, Brazil and Germany didn't work. 15 seconds ahead. no tech difficulties.

turn on the stream, first thing I see is the wheelchair race. Yep, marathons are back

Kiptum and his pacers are pacing for 60:40 at the half. Rupp and Mantz in second pack. Neither of them would finish if they tried to go with the lead pack. Running their own race. It’s unfortunate that Kiptum is just in a league of his own from a viewership standpoint.

Lol. Lead pack is about a mile ahead already.

Not even a surprise. They guy has always DNFd every time the going gets tough.

How is Nike even paying him anymore?
