Mo’s interviews are, for lack of a better word, generic. Says all the right things.
I would have laughed if he went with the "Hello, Police? I want to report a murder!" finish.

Yuki 2:16, not a good race.
If you look at his recent results on Japan Running News, this is not a surprise. He has not run well this year.

Mo Farah should have jumped into the crowd and drop kicked Alberto Salazar. Did he learn nothing from UFC last night? /sarcasm.
Biggest upset of the day: Yuki in Boston (2:15:58) defeats Yuki in Chicago (2:16:26).
Which is a more disappointing women's result: Gwen in 2:35ish or Thweatt dropping out at 15K?
C. Alexi :( :( :( :(
Smoove gets the age group win!
Not a great race today. Just saw him at O’Hare. His flight to Tokyo leaves at 11:25. He looks fine.
So between Mo and Stinson are about 40 city blocks. Seriously, how is this guy still calling himself a pro?
I hope we get to see Farah in the Olympics. His chances probably depend on the field (Kipchoge...), but it'd be pretty cool to see him do well at the marathon after his 2012/16 wins.
Sarah Crouch had a tough finish. She was on sub 2:31 pace for most of the race, finished in 2:32:37. Taylor Ward almost caught her at 2:32:42. Still 6th and 7th, got a nice payday.

Thweatt was predicted to drop out, by me and other followers... She has a serious pubic bone injury, and should just sit out and let it heal. But she is trying to run through, and probably does not want to miss any time in hopes to qualifying for the WC....
But now she is going to have to sit out if she wan't any chance at being able to race in the olympic trials.
theres a difference between a Pro and a Olympic champion you fucking moron

I am a big Yuki fan, but I think it is time for him to space out the races more at this point if he wants to get back down to the 2:10-2:12 range again. I know he is something special but as he gets older he will need more rest between races.
2:36:23 for Gwen
Jorgensen finishes in 2:36, fifth American
There's something hilarious about Farah and Kosgei getting awarded the same participation medals as everyone else.
Actually, it's funny in every marathon major.
2:36:23 for Jorgensen. Beaten by 18 minutes.
Stop disrespecting the distance and the competition by saying you will win Gold in two years.

I think he gets paid to show up for many races.
But if he wants to run faster, it might be time for a change in training.
Jorgensen 2.36.23 back to the tri?

That is a complete train wreck.
Gwen's post-race interview - "Well, I'm disappointed I'm not in 2:35 shape but watch out Mary, Tirunesh, Vivian & Gladys! I'm gonna smash y'all!!!!!!"
The Letsrun.com bitterness is deafening. Farah is better than Rupp. Swallow it. Congratulations Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah, CBE.
