Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

Holy Moly! He’s turned on the afterburners and he’s got less the 10k to go. Siffan is on another level of running achievements if she wins again and posts an incredible time.

4:21 20th mile according to Citius

Kiptum just made the most astonishing move I've ever seen in a marathon anD THEY CUT TO INTERVIEW THE WOMEN'S WHEELCHAIR CHAMPION

Who is Matt Choi and why is he triggering? I'm guessing he is some kind of running blogger who is entertaining and inspiring to hobby runners and makes 'real' runners lose their minds from jealousy.

Soooo, what about the women??

Kiptum just went 4:21-4:46-4:24 for miles 19-21 to break Mateiko.

He's on 2:01:11 pace through 21 miles and looks good. WR in serious danger.

I mean the men's and women's winners, with times.

This is not enjoyable. I have FOMO over not seeing Hassan grab her water bottle. Wheelchair interview. Got 3 windows open for the broadcast. Everyone on mute.

Kiptum is a frickin Alien, 2:0mid incoming. This dude will break 2 soon

YES !!!!!!!!!!

ETA is now 2:00:59 at 35k !

This should've beem exciting to watch instead the coverage turned it into a chore.

I wonder what Kipchoge is thinking, I hope the two race together next year

Kiptum on 2:00:59 pace at 35k !!!!!!!

Worse, I think he picked that username because he was fooled by someone who claimed that Rupp DNF’d in the first few miles.

13:51 30-35k for Kiptum

Now on pace for 2:00:59

Dude has glowing red eyes!

Sub 2:01 pace now!

4:21 - 4:24 last two miles Kiptum

Ok, 13:51 split for last 5km. that has to be some type of record
