Degefa is now a huge threat based on her form. My god she she looks incredible.
The women’s field just keeps getting deeper and deeper!
Mary is still the best in the world. But after her there is no clear cut number 2. Dibaba hasn’t been the same since she blew up in London last year, Vivian is a 2:18 runner but she is still learning.

Why does Larry Rawson keep referring to mileages, etc., in metric terms? "3 and a half kilometers to go..." Just say 2 miles, doofus.
broadcast is also used the international feed.

We rooted for Rocky. He was an underdog. We rooted for Jared and Ritz. They are underdogs. We know they won't win but we root for them anyway.
Fauble still in lead pack of 8!

Lead mens pack down to 7 with Fauble leading the 8 strung out chasers.
I guess Fauble wasn't told its a 26.2 mile race with hills
5:31 mile 24 for Degefa.
That should do it. If she can run like that she'll win.
At mile 23 she needed to lose roughly 40 seconds a mile to get caught.
she was literally running backward for a few seconds right there

NBC in general has been good with this coverage, way better than previous years.
I prefer the women over the men because the competition is better, and even though degefa is way ahead. The women have been racing where the men are bunched up as usual looking at each other.
That's because they started at different times. Men's racing will start soon enough.
Fauble looks like Gronk compared to these guys.
And he’s hanging in tough.

Ummm... ever heard of that Uganda runner at world cross - the one who won this year - name was something like Chebetnai.
Holy fauble. LEt’s GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Mile 21: 5:47 Edna Kiplagat opens up on downhill chase (Degefa lost another 9 seconds on this mile)
35k: Degefa’s lead is down to 2:26. Kiplagat rolling now.
Mile 22: 5:28. Degefa now looking over her shoulder.
Mile 23: 5:39. That’s a net downhill. 1:57 is her lead over Kiplagat.
Mile 24: 5:31
If she keeps 531, she'll get the win.
NBCSN has abandoned the men's race. Please keep us poor viewers informed.
des linden already drinking beer on my channel. good for her

I guess you were never told not to be a puzzy. You gotta be in the mix if you want to do something big.
Yeah it's over, Degefa will win comfortably. Edna Kiplagat waited way too long to make her move.
Men's race is gonna be fantastic. 8 men together 1:44 in.
Women's lead is down to 1:08 at 40k!! I guess it's just over a mile.
