Official 2016 TCS New York City Marathon Live Discussion Thread

First split in the women's group. It's emerging as an African vs. American pair of echelons

Try using Hola on this link.

Kimd Conley has been holding her water bottle forever in the women's race. She still has it in her hand 24 minutes into the race. When was the stop?

not a bad idea. she can dodge the first one or two water stations. I've done that in marathons. It's really not that hard to carry an 8oz bottle

I can't get over how disrespectful coverage of marathons is to the athletes and fans. Show a picture-in-picture during commercials and interviews. Something. Not showing the race is unacceptable. Imagine if they went to commercial during the third quarter of a basketball game. I get there's no breaks in a marathon. But soccer has no breaks and ya know what they do....they don't have commercials.

Lack of picture-in-picture or athlete tracker "bottom line" during commercials and cutaways is just totally unacceptable.

I've been simultaneously watching abc7/espn2 and eurosport, and neither has shown any of the women's marathon since the start, except for maybe 10 or 15 seconds, since I started watching both at least 10 minutes ago.

They are entirely useless.

Rojo's update is the only actually useful coverage so far.

I may give up and go for a run.

This is some of the worst marathon coverage I have ever seen. They've shown maybe 30 seconds of the women's race.

Men are off

abc7/espn2 is showing some idiot talking and asking for louder cheering.

eurosport is showing hobbyjoggers actually running across the start line

Weather.com is reporitng the following temps.

56 degrees.

Wind - NW 15 mph.

I'm shocked by that wind reading. We felt very little wind when we walked into the media room this morning. If that wind is accurate that will definitely slow the runners down as the end up going more north and west than anything.

It is truly amazing. So awful.

Thanks! I was having the same problem and downloaded AdBlocker and now able to watch that stream.

Honest pace for the women now. Gwen falling off the back.
