Official 2017 Boston Marathon Live Discussion Thread

any idea how big the gap is between Jordan and the next runner?

Is Kiplaget going to finish while they're in a fvcking commercial?!?!

How close is Hasay to 2nd?

!!!!

12 seconds, http://raceday.baa.org/individual.html.

Looked like Rupp was trying to clip Kirui. Geez

THIS. NBC on TV has made me want to throw my tv out the window. Too bad it's my work tv and I can't even watch any of the streams because I'm behind a firewall...

Kirui a 2h06 guy, it's gonna be hard for Rupp

Looks like Kirui doesn't even have his own drinks!

No reason to have commercials the last 10k of a marathon..what a joke NBC (also last 3k for the women!)

But boy oh boy do those commercials stream clearly, uninterrupted, with no skipping or lagging. That's great technology!

I wonder when they'll apply it to the actual broadcast?

Kirui looks good. I wasn't aware he's run 2:06. Rupp has his work cut out for him.

what did Kiriui throw on the ground?

11 seconds off.

Hasay about 12 seconds behind for 2nd place.

Remember Bill Rogers stopped while leading to tie his laces?

He later said he needed a rest.

How is Hasay doing, any chance of catching Chelimo?

12s back at 40k, that's possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

Probably too late for Hasay to grab 2nd.

3rd place, what a HUUUUUUUUUUGE result.

Excellent
