Let’s be real … how many people actually care about the wheelchair racers?

Many do, and more should.

The local coverage is having a lot of technical problems but at least they’ve shown the wheelchair race several times.

Love to see it!

Kiptum is gonna have to run this one on pure hate with the failure of these pacers.

Meanwhile the women will get paced all the way to the finish.

re: Will coop

They have the Paralympic 100 at worlds. Why not a 5k push rim in the track! I would pay to see that.

It would be highly entertaining to give the American men and women a 7-minute head start and let the fast guys chase them down.
Lol. By the amount of guys left at the front now there wouldnt be any guys chasing down American men, maybe besides Kiptum, and he'll only be 2-3 minutes ahead of the American guys

This is such a weird race. is Kiptum ditching the 60:40 pace? pacers have dropped back. Haven’t seen a shot of Mantz/Rupp. I have yet to see Hassan/Sisson/Bates? You would think a leaderboard at 5k to show splits of top 10 male/female?

This poor pacer, solo at 5k with a 2:01 marathoner. And he's covered in KT tape and looks like someone shot him up with paint balls. Can he make it to 20k?

They said one pacer might go 40K. Yeah right.

Matt Choi hits 5K in 21:36, a blistering sub-7:00 pace! Just biding his time before he closes the gap on the lead men's pack.

Good idea for the American men!
Kind of like they do for women vs men at some races, except that American men are the women.

re: Danicmic1

Runners need to start boycotting these ‘Thons that pay inordinately and massively inappropriate time to less than a handful of wheelchair athletes who can’t even run.
