It's nice to see no mention of Sisson at all in the coverage which is really the only reason I am watching this.
Have they even shown her on screen?
Stalking the app is way more informative than the stream, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Finally they mentioned Sisson...

Emily Sisson is on American record pace and Suzanna the winning Wheelchair racer has received more coverage (about 20 minutes) than Emily (0 minutes!).

Is it me or are there different types of wheelchairs ? Some where they turn the wheel directly and some where they turn "pedals" ? I'm surprised we haven't been informed of this, some heads need to roll !

The crazy thing is that the coverage at Berlin of the women's marathon was severely lacking. And, I watched it in GERMAN, which I do not speak. But I honestly think Chicago is even worse. History may or may not be happening right now. A *black* woman is running an incredible race, and I would love to see it. What she is doing is incredible and brave and she'll probably blow up, but I would love it see it one way or the other. I've barely seen her at all! Just endless wheelchair coverage interspersed with very brief views of the men or women or else spectator interviews. As letsrun likes to say at times, "our sport is a joke."
I am a Seattleite. A sort of history has been made in baseball here the last few days. I don't follow baseball but apparently we qualified for the playoffs or something like that for the first time in decades. What if during the decisive game they skipped the majority of that historical event to focus on women playing softball and disabled athletes playing baseball / softball?
This is just ridiculous. And honestly, again, sad. What other opportunity do we have to see women from East Africa, ever, for any reason? Ruth is maybe doing something spectacular today and no one is watching.
Great post. I am watching the international feed now via a VPN to CANADA and flotrack. Evne on this channel they are showing the NBC wheelchair interview. WHat a joke.
THankfully I don't have to see the local people so now I'm seeing the race.
For the record, my son says the guy in the orange top is going to win. And he just got dropped.
I woiuld love to tweeet out the following but Weldon would probably go ballistic.
Woke, but racist? A BLACK woman is on her way to settting a world record at the @ChiMarathon but we aren't seeing it as they are focused on the all-white wheelchair race?267 -
Nice to see a shot of Sisson FROM THE HELICOPTER!

Glad we might get a solid 15 minutes of coverage of the mens race
In your dreams !
After the crazy trio we're now at the Mexican Consulate ? More cowbell, sure !
That’s it, I’m done. The coverage of the Mexican consulate broke me. I turned off the broadcast. I hate Peacock.

Finally. We get to see Sisson from the helicopter feed.

I understand that human interest stories keep the casual watchers engaged but the "fun" stories should maybe be saved for the first half so we can see the race as much as possible during the second half. I don't know I don't like to be mean to people having fun but running fans should get to enjoy the coverage too.

Any Canadians or Australians with a flotrack subscription? how's the coverage? Should we buy a subscription and VPN from these locations?
I paid for a month (US based) so I could watch all the majors without having to look for a stream. Been watching the stream through a VPN. Sounds like it is way better than the peacock stream although they did cover the wheelchair way too much. The running has almost entirely been on the mens front pack with a few times cutting to Chepngetich. Haven't seen any chase pack once.

My wife - named Emily - has been watching for at least 30 minutues. She finally hears the name Emily Sisson for the 1st time. 'Honey, who is this woman named Emily?"

Ok, so I noticed this at Berlin too. There is no way the blue line is the shortest distance possible. One corner they just went around could have been much shorter. Is the blue line the official (shortest) distance?

Why the hell is this not covered on the Olympic channel? Designating World Major Marathons Coverage to local TV news networks is a disastrous decision for the good of the sport.

Really hoping Mantz can hang on for sub-2:08.
We could get a women’s WR, a big negative split 2:03:xx, an American sub-2:08 and an American record.
BUT I NEED MORE COWBELL

They can interviews the losers of the wheelchair races, but wont ever have a translator to interview the African winners. At any race. What does that tell you about how much they really care?
