Shoutout ed eyestone for some real ball knowledge amidst the today show hosts

It was nice to finally see a first place finisher toward the end and after actually looking like they ran a marathon

Was that Sage Hurta Klecker in that Nike commercial?

Hope he's ok.

Bank of America Chicago Marathon: Results

Open link

Troutner 2nd Eyestoner in 2:10. Clinger 2:16.

Centro 2:22.

Shoutout to Rupp running 2:09.

The guy with the faceplant looks like a Polish runner.

okay some props -- they have a translator

In other elite news, Floberg put up a 2:32

Finish tracker has him at 2:24. So this may not be correct.

Casual observer...any chance Clayton Young can reset the American record in Valencia?

In the results, this is the time just in front of Rogers:
Bednarek, Adrian (POL), 438, 2:23:25

Great run for Mantz!! Probably sub 2:10 without supershoes. With 104% conversion, it’s 2:09:42. Are supershoes giving more than 4% advantage now?

Co-shoutout to Hannah Borenstein for sharp translating work. The NBC broadcast would've been unwatchable without them.

I'm thankful they at least have cameras to watch lead packs. Don't get me wrong - it's nice to be able to watch the race for free. But this coverage bordered on heinous in my opinion. Left a lot to be desired.

I think he’ll be close. More likely best case is the old record, but he should be at least under 2:07.

Galen beat Albertson. CJ is such a disappointment.

I thought Jermann was pacing Dakotah. If so, he wasn't the guy who crashed.

He ran at Naperville North in Illinois and was part of the team that took 3rd at NXN in 2008
