The course profile and conditions should be ideal for Galen Rupp, but the caveat being his age and the number of years he's been running at championship level.

Perhaps what I dislike most about developments in T&F at the major championships is that the marathons no longer finish in the stadium. It's a real shame that the winner does not get the adulation of the stadium crown instead being greeted at the finish line by a few hundred people mostly journalists and officials.
Anyone agree?
I’m not sure why in most cases, but in this instance it could be for weather reasons. Could be warm. Could be hot. So earlier the better. As someone else mentioned, they’re not gonna pack the stadium at 8 am. Even the womens 10k was empty. Not a lot of people at these games. Within 2 minutes after the 100m final, the stadium was cleared out and there were still field events and ceremonies happening.
My Dark horse is Daniel Do Nascimento from Brazil. He was in front at the Olympics with Kipchoge until 30k. And now probably he has the wheels to survive after that wall.
Mine too. Ran very well in Valencia and Seoul and then went under 61 in a small event I'm Brazil a couple of weeks ago.
been a fan of Bat for years. Great to see near the end of his career he’s getting some LRC love. I think he ran 2:08 last year or in 2020. Still a great runner. Better than every American not named Rupp.

They used to run championship marathons at night, it worked just fine

You do know they are using the track for other events today right? Lol

1984 Los Angeles Olympics - classic finish in the stadium with Lopes, Treacy and Spedding. That’s what we eat to see!
