Official Paris Olympic marathon men’s thread - race 2 am east coast

I'm glad I stayed up for this race. I'm going to be tired tomorrow morning but it was worth it!

Korir finishes now, 2:18 plus

Rumor is kipchoge left the course.

Very fast times. I”’m hapoy for all the guys who ran fast, though it makes me think shoes are worth more than 3 minutes.

Yaseen Abdalla really just beat Bekele and Kipchoge in his debut marathon in the Olympics on one of the toughest courses after running a full NCAA season that went into June.

LA 28 organizers right now are like:

"oh, you ran well on those hills in Paris huh?"

Check map.

Hmmm. Mt Whitney is only 2 hours away. Portal Road out of Lone Pine is 13 miles up and 4,700 feet up.

We got just the course for you!

Bummed for Linkletter. :(

They said a couple already had DNF listed, but not Kipchoge

CJ Albertson should have had his spot.

Waiting for Kipchoge to finish, I'm rooting for him. How poetic would it be, to go from first to last yet still finish with your head held high... would be the spirit of a true marathon runner

I want Kipchoge inside of me while Tola watches.

Looks like he finished in 2:18

S. Hassan finishes 28th, hopefully not foreshadowing tomorrow!

yes, he took odds on ladbrokes of 100,000 to 1 that he would finish last.

The CBC coverage with Brenda Irving and Krista DuChene on cbc.ca assuming you have a VPN was fine. Tuned them out, but the coverage did the trick.

Take them over Swangard & Goucher any day.

He dropped out. Stop with the "spirit of a true marathon runner" nonsense, his persona was a gimmick crafted by Nike, he's not much different from any other athlete.

Same bro, imagine exploring each others bodies

only 1 minute off his PB

Dude for real I would love that

Korir in 2:18:45
