Official 2017 BMW Berlin Marathon Thread

On 'FreeSports' in the UK the commentator just spent about a minute saying how great letsrun is.

A very nice Letsrun shoutout by the commentators on the international feed, praising the coverage before this race.

They just mentioned Letsrun event coverage in the commentor.

Good job Letsrun.

Since I hadn't given my prediction, here is what I think will happen.

1. Eliud Kipchoge 2:02.20

2. Wilson Kipsang

3. Kenenisa Bekele.

With Bekele, you can never wage anything. He blows both hot and cold and as a result, one cannot bet on him.

Cherono takes the women's race.

14:28 at 5k. That's 2:02:05 pace. Big three plus Vincent Kipruto and debutant Guye Adola. There's also four pacers up front, not three, but the fourth isn't running right at the front to break the wind.

That's Anna Hahner, one of the Hahner twins. She's run 2:26. I think the sister has run 2:28.

One of the commentators on the international feed calling out LetsRun by name for solid pre-race coverage. I wonder if he posts on the boards.

How much does Kipchoge have to win by so that he isn't winning just because of Nike's 'aerodynamic tape' stuff on ?

Did Kipchoge go to the tables or did he get served his drink? Looking harder next time?

Does Kipruto have his own pacer in the lead group?

OH NO. This is going to be awful. I just got up at 3 am and turned on the tv and I have Josh Cox commentating. Say it ain't so. I was hoping I'd get an international feed.

Anyone have a feed with decent announcers. These guys will be running 2:01 pace and Cox annoying voice will be killing it for me.

He was made to be a tv man (good looks) not a commentator on a marathon which is more like radio.

If you want to stream it in the US, you have to be a gold member ($$). But on gold they have the international feed without commercials. International announcers Stuart Storey and some other dude.

+ No commercials.

Sounds way better but I'm not paying for one race. I'll stick the free ghetto version with Josh lol.

These womens pacers look like a bunch of puds out there.

Why are two of the pacers wearing mini dresses? They look like a couple of college girls getting ready to go clubbing.

He went to the table, and the bottle was shared amongst a few.

What's the link to the ghetto version?

Loving these KFC commericals.

Not gonna write off Kipruto just yet. He could very well take top 2 or 3. Also the Nike gold and white singlet is LITTT
