Typical LRC thread. It's the Olympic frickin marathon and we have breastfeeding jokes, comments on women's appearance and uniforms, and one guy who can't tell Aliphine T. from Sally K. apparently because all Africans look alike to him. Are there any running fans here, or just the incel bros?
Gold medal for you in the virtue signalling final
Don't feed the troll.

This race might favor “slower runners” who do well in adverse conditions. One Ethiopian girl, 2:19 thoner, already dropped out.
Lead pack down to 10, Seidel still up there.

Sally looks to be falling back
Scratch that. She is back in there
They are obsessed with showing who's fallen off, and ID'ing them, but have yet to show a list of the leaders.
Weird.

BBC pretty much staying on the lead pack. No ads, no interruptions.
Ethiopian girls suffering in the heat

It's only 28 degrees. That's cold!!!
Aliphine dropped out around 20k according to NAZ twitter:
Seidel, Master tactician and good body shape for the marathon - classic....Go Seidel.....hang in there....
Solid twelve (including two Americans) in the lead, three more in chase pack.
This is the shady area. Doesn't it open up the last 8 miles or so?
I know there is still a long way to go, but I am super impressed with Seidel and Kipyego still being in the lead pack in these conditions. Have they been training on the sun?
