9:15 am ET Sunday - Official 2022 World Men's Marathon Discussion Thread

Tola ,Ethiopia, looks like a million dollars. He could win this thing.

Don't worry, they will have Rupp pee in the bottle at the end of first lap

Galen looks very good and controlled and hopefully place in the top 8

Bingo. Tola runs 1:32 on the back to take it.

Thanks dude. I'll put that on when Nhyper capitalism BC goes to ads.

30:52 through 10k, 2:10:15 pace.

I heard they have drug testing at every 5k split.

I didn't even see his name on that 10km split 🤔
