Official 2018 New York City Marathon Discussion Thread

Proud of my USA girlies. 3,4. First clean finishers.

American women finish 4 of the top 7.

USA 3-4-6!

Kitata dropped. Desisa shadowing Kam now. What a comeback.

Damn..Tusa tanked big time even Huddle passed her.

Flanangan is about to pass Tusa for 3rd.

Wait, where the hell is Kitara? Why does nobody care that he's dropped back?

Kam throwing down. Desisa and Kitata barely hanging on.

Kamworor vs Kitata is going be fun to watch in the last 2 kilometres.

great freaking run by Shalance and Molly!

Molly pr'd! 2:26 in New York!

Don't understand why doesn't she stick to the 10k and half. She's clearly not built for the marathon as opposed to Shalane.

Yeeeeeeah Allie is 100 times more interesting than this joke of a men's race.

first commercial in like an hour comes right as there is an actual battle for the win. Why can't they split screen this??

great coverage by ESPN. so far just commercials and passing reference to two men at the front of the men's race.

Wow, what happened to Kitata ?!

Nice comeback from Desisa after the Breaking2 fiasco...

Great showing for the US ladies.

I wonder if Kenya will once again not pick Mary for their OLY team.

It's what America does best i.e. commercials :) I like the commentating..."the 2 front guys have got rid of the men without hats". LOL

rojo wrote:

There is an epic men's battle. But they are trying to look for Allie Kieefer? Are you kidding me?

Now they are going to commercial at the 1:56 mark!!

but Desisa doesn't look that fresh. I think Kenya is gonna take it one again from Ethiopia..I miss Haile and Bekele (when he was on top)!

Kam trying but Desisa shadowing his every move. Can't shake him off.
