It blows my mind that Obiri and Hassan are as good at marathon as they are. They just have so much “extra” movement compared to the others.
Maybe our understanding of form isn’t what we thought it was.

Gidey is so smooth
She's so hot. The way she held and drank from that water cup was poetic.

Tola is now just a quarter mile behind the women's lead pack.

Rupp needs to be co-commentator for every major race that he isn't participating in. Enthusiastic, great insight, and clearly interested in the race. He seems like a totally different person compared to his past interviews.
Seems to be a much better commentator than interviewee, which isn't that surprising I don't think. Interviews are an awkward situation, commentary is just geeking out about something you're passionate about.

I know any of these 5 women have a chance, but got to think the lone Ethiopian, Gidey, will take this.
....and less than 2 miles to go! Going to be great.

Also, I hate the graphic at the top of the ESPN screen. It just takes up space and provides nothing of value. I"d much rather see mile by mile split..

Gidey seems to have a stomach cramp. If someone really pushes the pace now, it could drop Gidey.
What are you seeing?

Rooting for Lokedi.

No he won’t

He's slowing a little, isn't he? He can afford to, at least for the win. I'd love to know what he needs to do from here on out to get the CR.

She was touching her bib even early on. I don't know...maybe that's why she hasn't been pushing it. She must know she doesn't have the finishing speed of Obiri.

It might be gone now, but she kept pinching the side of her stomach and grimaced a bit. She seems fine now.

Kosgei is dropped, her form got ugly.
Lokedi, Obiri and Gidey leading.

It’s cute seeing the American women thinking they have a shot right now. Can’t wait for them to get their doors blown off and then pretend like they were actually in contention in the post race interviews
What happened to Taylor? She drop out or just get her doors blown off that quick? And you wonder why Chicago wouldn’t pay her.
They ran a sub 5:10. Are you watching the race???

Can we all appreciate that Tamirat Tola is on 2:03:59 pace at 35k (1:42:51)!!!!
He looks poised to destroy the 2:05:06 course record held by Geoffrey Mutai.
