No sound at the bar I'm at either. On the bright side it does have Stone and Sculpin on tap.

Those 12 are all east Africans, right? (one "Bahrainian")

Maybe the pollution has improved since 2008?
Maybe they closed down the coal-fuelled power plants a week ago? And took 50% of the cars of the road?
Pollution in China is much worse than in 2008.
You can just feel the pain in the Russians face already Renikov

So in the year 2015, the best place to watch the marathon is on youtube.
?
What about the abundance of terrible journos? Left them watching the muted feed?

I like all the nice trees in Beijing.
He doesn't break away from anybody but he did avoid some chaos at the water station

Dat zal het zijn ja.
Lead pack is still huge when you consider it only started with about 68. Like 30-40% of the field is still there.
Should be a helluva second half
At 20km
Jeffery Eggleston 24th +0:23
Ian Burrell 40th +1:28
Scott Smith 50th + 2:21
"So in the year 2015, the best place to watch the marathon is on youtube."
Unless you live in China like I do where youtube is blocked and LetsRun pages take about 3 minutes to load. I'm watching the live CCTV5 broadcast and I can't figure out what the hell is happening. The pack is like an accordion....strings out....bunches up again. They look pretty slow so I guess it'll be a blistering last 5 miles or so.
Trust me....Beijing skies rarely look as nice as they do today.
How do elite marathoners not pee during the race?
