I am excited for the next 5K split - my hunch is these women are running close to 5:00 pace.
Tola dropped a bit to 4:45-4:50 pace. He might be able to see them soon.

Gidey seems to have a stomach cramp. If someone really pushes the pace now, it could drop Gidey.
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.
That’s peak track Obiri, but I’m not sure it applies now. For sure this is not like Hassan and London where it was impossible Hassan would not win over the last 800. Here, I’m not so sure.

NYC is slow because of bridge start and uphills, adds +2 minutes to the pros vs other WMM
This always makes me wonder what Salazar’s 2:08:13* or his two 2:09s in NYC 9 (in other words before his decline) would have been worth with pacesetters, super shoes, and a flat, fast course.

Tola and the lead women are in the same mile. I really hope he catches them. It will be the ultimate nail in the coffin in the transgender wars!!
Are the commentators for once going to say what an amazing run this is by Tola?? No. The lack of appreciation for his run in bad.

Lokedi got that marathon shuffle. Obiri and gidey got that track stride.

And huddle is passed by Tola. She should return her appearance fee. Embarrassing.

No he won’t
I love the downvote. No way the men’s winner is catching the women’s.

Right. Gidey may also just be more confident with her own finishing speed, which has gotten better. And tired of being used as the pacesetter.

Tola 4:57 for mile 25.

Agreed. Women are now running 4:50 pace and only getting faster. Tola is running the same pace, if not a few ticks slower.
