Here is decent quality, archived BBC coverage. You have to click through to some Russian hosting site, so make of that what you will.

Check that, some of this is coverage from Spanish TV. Commentators are quite excited.

I like hearing them say "Ingebrixten."

where is the full replay of this carnage-filled women's marathon?

Why not make it a condition to put the marathon in a mild climate.

why not ax the marathon completely since nobody considers either the olympics or the WC to be the championships of the marathon.

Why are you always talking about dopers that had same menager. Rosa has more than 40 athletes from 13 different countries! Stop asking stupid questions. Imagine, you work in a company, one of the workers was stealing money. Police caught him. Few months later someone asks you "Do you also steal? A guy who had the same boss was stealing".

Doesn't help that he's had a load of athletes test positive and she's from a country who we know a large percentage of their athletes are doping.

43% of the field DNF’d. At least no one died.

It was definitely crazy out there!

What surprised the heck out of me was the 5th place finisher - Volha Mazuronak of Belarus! She's was the first non-African finisher and didnt looked very fatigue and not too overwhelmed by the heat. Belarus is currently listed on the IAAF's "most likely to dope" watch list and they just had their 800m WC from 2015 popped for doping (Arzamasova)....so is this suspicious?

Anyone know what happened to Salpeter? About two-thirds of the way she's looking strong and closes the gap on the four leaders to within 13 or so seconds. However, she gets unhitched and falls back badly to over one minute - then she's nowhere to be found. The announcers kept asking where's she at but there was never any footage of her dropping out or anything. It was like she just vanished from the course - gone.

Is this a way to argue? I think the Norwegians, i.e. Ingebrigtsens and Warholm are clean for other reasons than their color. And you write everybody. Do you know anything about Norway at all? You have a strange way of putting a rhetorical question: Norway goes from 3 Olympic Medalists in running events in history - wrong, you demonstrate lack of knowledge - to assume it might be suspicious if Norway get some medals in Doha. My question to you is: Do you have Logic courses in your country? If you have attended one you, did you learn anything at all?
