Rupp took water after mile 24. That's a mistake. No way will it help you. Just focus.

The course is not very good with so many turns.
I like the course.
And kudos to Brazil for having so many armed guards. No freaking priest is comign out now.
It's a shame that Bekele wasn't in this race.
Ahreed. Patience. Let the miles come to you.
can someone alert the announcer that the runner in 2nd is not Lilisa Desisa?
Let's give Rupp massive props here. Only run two marathons, both in atrocious conditions, and two terrific performances.
hey!
what shoes are the main leaders wearing? the yellow shoes? nike streak?
Rupp for bronze
Lilesa looking back

Commentator trying to be slick and now changing his crap to first American-born man to medal in an Olympics since Shorter. I'm sure he totally forgot about Meb and probably had some one call in to the studio to correct him. Maybe he can tell us when is the last time a British-born runner won the 5K or 10K at the Olympics?
You're a PC cuck. Rupp would be the first American born man to win a medal if he medals. Sure, we're all the same, and Hillary in her Col. Sanders suits never tells a lie.
I have to say, I'm impressed with the security. Although, how Brazil affords it is a whole other issue.
Rupp really hurting, doubt he catches Lilesa.
Rupp...hurting...badly
Tv guy said Kipchoge ran 9:13 for miles 22-23.

35k @ 107:40 (14:25) Kipchoge (doing all the work), Rupp, Lilesa, then 40s
40k @ 122:24 (14:44) Kipchoge, 36s and increasing, Lilesa, 12s, Rupp, big gap (maybe a minute)
Kipchoge took off right after 35k, Rupp was dropped quick, then Lilesa didn't want to lead, so he got dropped too.
Yep Iooks like them to me
again announcers no confidence in rupp. i call rupp come back
