We’ll go live from Township at 2:30 pm ET. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=...
SHOW US WOLFE and others who aren't in the top three! This is so pathetic. Worst video coverage I've ever seen of a top level event. So freaking frustrating. I'm not even american, lol, but I want to see what the other athletes are doing on the course!
Kiplimo not even tired

This footage makes it hard to get invested. The camera angles are constantly changing and none of them are great to begin with.
The commentator needs a co-commentator. It’s hard to add color to 5 cross country races by yourself.
Parker Wolf is tough. Reminds me a little bit of Mantz.
It's great that right before you get oriented you go 1500 feet up in the air with no context
Wolfe 11th - awesome!
NGL I rolled my eyes when Kiptoo took it out like that yet again, but I stand corrected. 14th and beating the likes of Gressier.
Great top 3. One stud short.
Wolfe 12th 29:28
Kiptoo 14th 29:34
Blanks 19th 29:41
Young 36th 30:19
Muhumed 46th 30:53
Great run by Brian Fay, Ireland.

ESPN marathon coverage is far worse
Kiplimo!! Would have been fun to see fans tossing their hats and caps onto the course at the finish line.

All I gotta say is Jacob MF'ing Kiplimo!
Team scores?

Far far far far from the worst video coverage at a top level event.

Blanks is better at XC than Nico. Case closed.
Yeah... but that's American coverage. American Sports coverage is the worst - at least 50% has to be focusing on fluff pieces and over-dramatizing the back stories of the athletes.
World Athletics stuff is typically better, especially anything with the British commentators - they focus on what's playing out on the screen / tracks/course. So for a world championship event? I expect more...

Wonder what’s up with Nico, any word on an injury?
Adidas athlete getting used in a Nike group. This is getting embarrassing for a guy of his talent. I never thought I would say this, but time for a change!

I think we could have had the race winner with Wolfe, Kiptoo, and Blanks all bumped down 1 spot and still finished 4th. Uganda, Kenya, and Ethiopia were way out. I may be wrong as I haven’t seen team scores. Just based on eyeballing, I am certain adding in a 10th place finish wouldn’t have been enough for the team to medal.
Wow - Kiplimo is incredible. Goes to show how different this is from track.

And he smoked reigning world champ Gressier
