What a race!!
Just a refresher, here's the official LR pre-race take:
The American trio are not really contenders to medal but each is a good story to root for. Tuliamuk gave birth to a daughter between the Trials and the Olympics, Seidel has run only two marathons in her life (both in 2020), and Kipyego is looking to return to the Olympic podium after getting a silver in the 10,000 in 2012.

Here's the thing, these LR "running expert journalists" are all idiots.

Yes, well said. This kind of thoughtful, well- articulated, airtight analysis is invaluable.

Molly Siedel was the only true American in the women’s marathon. so wonderful to see her win a medal.
American medals should be earned by Americans.
Not African imports.
Note to Bahrain and Qatar.
Take that blood and soil nonsense to Stormfront. Kipyego and Tuliamuk epitomize what America stands for and should stand for.

Indeed. Well put.
What defines an American? I am struggling to find a sufficient definition to support my dogma...

McLaughlin was the world record holder coming into the Olympics. She crushed it. But where was Seidel ranked?. Not even close. She trained and raced to the conditions. Out of 14 women’s marathons, she’s the 3rd to win a medal. That’s f*cling epic!
Rupp won bronze on his 2nd marathon attempt......

The only thing that differentiates your opinions from those of Nazis is self awareness. We fought wars against fools like you .

Actually, I'll broaden on this for the question asked...
Seidel is a Jewish name that would be pronounced ZY-dull
But in the US, the second vowel gets the sound..
Hence, sy-DELL
But I pronounce it MED-uh-list.

Why does everyone suddenly think it's cool to swear? Swearing will never be okay.
Yeah, I said it. Someone has to because the end times are coming.
On the fifth page someone IS STILL SWEARING.

My wife, who isn’t really an athletics fan, cried at the finish when Molly started screaming in celebration. This run has mainstream pull, and that woman just became a superstar!
Yeah I know a lot of non-runners who know who Molly Seidel is.
I follow her on Instagram. She seems to be quite a character. And funny to boot.

I feel your pain. It is terrible what the settlers have done to the American people Chief Running Bear, but it's time to lay down your Tomahawk and move on.
Molly was amazing, the whole race was awesome.
82 degrees in tokyo
dewpoint 77, which is what it has been all week
20% chance of rain
no wind
Molly has been very honest about her struggles. When I saw the kinesiotape my thought was....oh no. She pushed on. Congratulations Molly!
Outside of Joanie's win in 1984, I can't recall being so enthralled/inspired by a marathon. Only difference is that, with Joan, she already was the favorite, but with Molly I had no expectations of even top 10. Bronze is amazing!!!
The conditions & the competition were brutal, and Molly just hung in there. Cannot praise her enough!
