Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

I don’t enjoy the coverage either but it’s a local Chicago affiliate, so what does everyone here expect? The audience is your average Chicago resident, not people like us hitting refresh on the boards every ten seconds.

Hassan could run 2:10:xx if she could figure out how to grab her fueling at the station. So bad lol 😂

KIPTUM DROPPING THE HAMMER, KIPCHOGE WATCH OUT

This guy is triggered.

Wow that was an extremely rough bottle grab from Hassan. Did a full 180 and the pacer had to stand still, I don't see how that doesn't lose at least 5-10 seconds. This is a marvel to watch

Through 30k, 11 Americans still sub 2:10 pace, with 4 still on pace for a high 2:06, and a couple others on pace for high 2:07. What will be the excuse for why the Americans were able to run fast since Letsrun likes to bash American men marathoners. Are they going to say the course was short?

Women may not break the marathon world record today, but Hasan broke the 30km world best by 1s

such a sand bagger.

"yes it has been a little rainy in Kenya yes i started preparation late yes I want course record yes yes"

then proceeds to obviously target WR

He has to be on WR pace right now. Where is the clock??

Hassan is Ruthless

Kiptum is motoring! Quite extraordinary.

honestly the wheelchair races are annoying. Not the same sport, not the same fans. they should start their own events.

Which Americans are going to run fast?

This race is likely to be won in 2:00 or 2:01.

You don't want to hear from Catherine?

Kiptum is wickedly impressive… you don’t surge like that unless you know you can sustain it. The WR is going DOWN!!!

brah that surging is unnatural

“Guy who predicted the result”. WOW, how’d you have the intuition to predict that the best marathoner in the world would win!!?!🤯

Kiptum is MOVING

4:21 apparently for the last K, WR is virtually GONE !
