Big decisions being made here, go with the pace or not? Kiplangat and others off the back a bit first 2 pace groups for me are targeting 2:01:40 and 2:05:10 i think so big gap there

Timothy Kiplagat used to train with Kelvin Kiptum and he's committed to the front group right now

Conditions look A1. Wish Lisa Weightman was racing this rather than Osaka last weekend as I reckon she could've got the Aussie record today.

I Always like Watching this so much Japanese Depth in the Marathon, And I like how The City picks up all The Litter and gets rid of the Graffiti, so The City of Tokyo looks so clean for the Worldwide Viewrs of the Marathon, The First Tokyo Marathon I saw, I was Shocked Tokyo is a Gigantic City with So Many People, yet they are able to get it Clean for The Marathon, Most Cities hosting a Marathon they pick up most of the Litter but the Graffiti is Everywhere

Enoy the Race

Can someone explain the current Japanese team decision for men? If don’t kbd runs faster than 2:05:59, then osako stays home?

Looks like lead men behind pacers are:

Kipchoge, T. Kiplagat, Kipruto, Chalu Deso, Bazezew Asmare, Kipkemoi, Tsegaye Getachew

The first Japanese man to run under 2:05:51 here makes the Olympic team today. If no one does then Osako on team

14:15 @ 5k for leaders, 14:55 for the second (HUGE) pack

First 5k in 14:16

2:00:24 pace

Gonna need an english stream please!

14:16 first 5k. This is fast !
