They talked about Bernard Koech on the 7+ coverage but for those watching elsewhere - he ran 2:04 back in 2013 but then struggled for a while on alcohol reliance which tanked his results. Around 2020 he was able to get his life back together and has had a late resurgence in his career winning Hamburg twice and running 2:04:09 PB twice. Hope he puts up a good result today.
Trains with Kipchoge. Brother of 1500m runners Bethwel Birgen (3:30 PB + WIC 3k bronze) and Enock Koech (3:31 in 2001)
So we are really not getting any splits or commentary? You're telling me Flotrack couldn't find anyone to do the commentary for a major? What a joke.
Lead pack looks pretty tight still with Kipchoge still looking good up front. From what I could tell, looks like they passed a 12k sign in just over 36 minutes
She's talking to the other commentators in Channel 7 in Australia, the host broadcaster. Why the international feed doesn't include them as well is beyond me.
Also I can't recall them showing a second of the women's race so far.
To be part of the WMM, a minimum requirement should be a professional broadcast. (That means you, too Chicago!)
