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

Bat Ochir, Mongolia, showing his hand at the front but he has a very poor record time-wise in Olympic and world championship marathons usually finishing between 220 and 230.

No international feed on peacock? I don’t want to listen to these annoying mfs speak into the camera for the next two hours

What's the Pro Evo 1 vs Alphafly situation looking like?

Any sign of French homeless or ramble rousers on the streets?

Seems his name is Yago Rojo from Spain

That sounds like cheating

4k in 12:39

First 20k is flat so it's a slow start

This is the general rule in the Olympic marathon in that those who show early usually finish late bar a few exceptions.

They're on 5.07 per mile pace....at 14 mins

Gel pack, cold

yes, they have lined the streets to watch the marathon. that was the only running event they could afford to go to.

Looks like first official split will be at 5k

3:12.

Havent heard any splits announced since

fr I don't know what they plan on doing for the next 2 hours but right now they've been sitting in silence for 30 seconds

At which km does Korir DNF? Or does he finish in 2:18?

Can you say Joanie and Sammy?

15:40 through 5K

15:40 @ 5k

The uphill sections around 30 kilometers before the downhill towards the finish will favor Navarro of France who's a former cyclist and very good on hilly terrain.
