Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

Unreal. 15 mins out from a possible world record and they interviewing random people in the crowd 😑

No, 2:12 high. I'm in between, she will stop to walk any minute or goes 2:12.

Hassan 1:46:05 at 21 miles

Did he just say Mexico, LONDON(???) or Ethiopia??

Mantz looks great!

Kipchoge did 1:59:40 already

Connor!!! I see you!

1h48 in showing first time an American!

Yeah Mantz wearing original Alphafly

That's the guy from the zebra jacket to you, will probably be back next year too

I heard it on the broadcast, Diego’s mic was on in the background, he is very excited, haha!

OMG, they just showed Mantz after 1:48!

4:36 for the last mile ? Wow, slowing badly from 4:16 (not sure that was official though), was it hilly ?

Yes, and gatlin ran 9.54 with a wind machine

There was a slow(ish) mile for Hassan too. So there must be an incline.

"Who?" - Kelvin Kiptum

Sifan MF’ Hassan - the past, the present and the future. Her range is UNPARALLELED - to me she’s the most impressive distance runner of all time and her attitude makes her that much more likeable. Her interviews yesterday made me appreciate her that much more.

Matt Choi 1:46:46 at 25K. Slipping slightly, on pace for 3:00:12. Will he break the 3-hour barrier? Will he stop and eat a pizza with spectators? Will his nipples get chaffed? (Wait, that can't happen to the shirtless wonder).

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!!
