Official 2017 NYC Marathon Discussion Thread

Damn, Wilson was coming! Congrats to GK! What a talent. Adds the marathon feather to his cap.

Wow. That Kipsang finish put a scare in the Kam fans.

The dutch guy is in 4th place abdi is 5th

Desisa guarantees victory and comes 3rd

I'm from the town that borders Marlbehead where Shalane grew up, father is from Marblehead and have lots of family in town, to see Shalane go from her high school running days to now is amazing. She is so talented and mentally tough, couldn't be happier for her!!

Terrible. On a par with Paula's narcissism.

Is she waiting for someone to say "Your record is still here!"? Pathetic.

Classy Kipchoge there to congratulate GK. Abdi in 4th.

Kipchoge happier for Kam than I've ever seen for his own win. I love that man.

Meb's going to break 3 hours! Jk. Great running for a 42yr old.

Yeah, he's a classy guy for sure.

What's great is Shalane can now pick up some great appearance bank for the next year if she wants.

Damn. Meb collapses at the finish line.

A respectable Sub 2:16 time for him.

Jared Ward?

Wow,! Geoffrey Kipsang wins, Wilson Kipsang second! Are they brothers? I remember few years ago was Geoffrey Mutai followed by Emmanuel Mutai

I thought he was going to do a push-up. He looked genuinely spent.

The humidity took it's toll on runners today.

Abdi is 7th!! Dutch Butter is 6th.

How do all the Americans finish behind a completely unknown Dutch guy who looks like a hedge fund trader?
