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

Happy it came together for Mantz and Young. Clayton documented basically their entire training in that miniseries. Lots and lots of long hill stuff. They did that Hobble creek workout a good amount

I wish but he's recorded his first (ever including track?) DNF

Tough to see him like that but we must remember and be grateful for everything he's achieved

“Nice job. I’ve got some reading material you might be interested in.”

That commentating will absolutely ruin this and cause folks to turn it off for any Canadians that rewatch today.

Eurosport feed was awesome, and still going showing finishers.

And CBC is showing every finisher. Impressive.

Solid runs for Seseman 2:13 and Muhammad 2:15

nouvales interesting color choice for compression shorts

I wonder what Kiptum would have ran today

You got me there lololol. The future of marathon courses will be marathon du Mont Blanc up for 21km and down for the other 21km.

If they still run the Olympic record it will be up up for the entire 42km. Let’s see if they still run the OR

Stop it. Get some help

I think it's safe to say that the carnage we were all predicting before the race wasn't exaggerated.

Very sad for the two old legends, but glad Bekele gutted it out and finished. Not going to end it on a DNF.

I predicted Korir in 2:18. Thank you.

lets go ziggy

I predicted Korir in 2:18. Thank you.

Batochir with 100 vehicles behind him

Wow, what a course. The fans were magnifique. Thank you, Paris. LA take note. Even more excited about the women's marathon tomorrow now.

Congrats to Tola, who must have had a chip on his shoulder after not making the original Ethiopian team. New York, Worlds and Olympics is quite the treble.

Kelvin Kiptum, you were missed.

Smart move to bury your Talbi apology about 20 pages back! hope to see more of him in the future

Mike Rodick is a genius. Give him owner now or I kill myself

Oh, thank you for that link... sad if he's dropped out, but glad he gave it his all. And you're right, it does nothing to tarnish his legacy as the marathon GOAT
