i literally can't believe how much wheelchair there is. I'm watching on Disocvery from the UK - I've been back and forth over last 20 minutes but honestly they're showing more wheelchair than running. I know it's a cliche to complain about it here, but this is infuriating
Every year we astonish how bad the coverage is. Ads, stupid interviews and wheelchair racing but the 2 main races nowhere to be seen. No wonder nobody in the world watches this sport.
It's always a crapshoot sub 2:05 last year was pretty damned fast and Tola ran very strong during the Olympics where there's no pacemakers either. 18 min first 5k for the women is ridiculous tho.
Lol the announcer at the end of the men's wheelchair race just suddenly turned on this "LOOK AT THAT WINGSPAN THIS SO AMAZING AHHHHH" for just the last 15 seconds and then went back to being calm. Gotta get that soundbite for the finish on YouTube that no one will watch.
