He's got his half tights and aero-strips on...he might take it

5 flat 3rd mile, Hasay has to let the front runners go or.........

The guy in the Guatemala singlet just ahead of the lead women looks like a fullback! If that guy breaks 2:15, I'll eat a turd.

short guy in blue, went way too hard by running first miles with leading pack. dont think he wil PR today.

Did that guy just pull a bottle off an elite table?

Uh, telemundochicago.com

Looks like they are actually focusing on elites on the NBS sports net stream.

Pulled up the nbcchicago stream and they were doing a human interest story per usual. Haha

She for sure can run sub-15 now.

Could the Americans sweep? They are dominating so far.

CD chatting with AB.

The other AB still leading.

This is the official leaderboard but it's not right as it's missing the top 10 guys or so. Times look right, but there are 20-25 guys in lead group, not 9.

No one seems to know what the real splits are. The race broadcast is saying that they came through in 15:05 but I don't think that's right at all. 15:43 seems like a much more realistic 5k split.

White guys making an early statement...

If anybody finds something other than a NBC feed, please, post here.

Runner Tracking does not work

No live splits on the telecast

How can this be in 2017?

The coverage could be a lot, lot worse.

OMFG Hasay is hanging with them

Women's splits from Helmut Winter and Sean Hartneet. I deleted the link from the HP as it was crashing.
