Now they have brought in a male doctor to mansplain the effect's of weather on women marathoners! How ridiculous.

Male doctors don’t understand women physiology?

Sex and gender are just social constructs, so all humans cool themselves in the exact same way!

Did I do that right?

Women's physiology for cooling in high head and humidity is no different than men's.

20 in the lead pack and another 5+ strung off the back.

Molly seems to end up in the sun more than others. Maeda, especially, always ending up toward the shaded side of the road.

Google says she's 6"0

Typical LRC thread. It's the Olympic frickin marathon and we have breastfeeding jokes, comments on women's appearance and uniforms, and one guy who can't tell Aliphine T. from Sally K. apparently because all Africans look alike to him. Are there any running fans here, or just the incel bros?

Gold medal for you in the virtue signalling final

Thanks for this. Looks like it's much flatter the rest of the way.

This race might favor “slower runners” who do well in adverse conditions. One Ethiopian girl, 2:19 thoner, already dropped out.

I think 3582, the real small girl there, who is that?

Extremely weird thing to say…

Depends on if they identify as people of cooling or not.

at 20k Seidel and Kipyego still in lead pack, ~15 now with more close behind

Negative split in the making despite the heat?

Well that was an unfortunate typo.

Wow, goes to show just how small so many of the marathoners are, because she looks huuuuge compared to the rest.
