Is there a separate women’s feed?
No. Just the barest amount of coverage on the main feed. That said, the Men's coverage is pretty good and I think Cox is doing a good job announcing. Better than some of the other races I've heard.

wouldn't be surprised to see one of the pacers go ftw
Wilson Kipsang was talking big even in Kenya asking people to get up early to watch. Surely, he couldn't have wanted them to see him DNF? Must've eaten some bad sushi.
25km in 1:14:30. Shitara still there. The pace is on for 2:05:45. I think there is good chance for a sub 206 Japanese NR.
Anyone else notice Shitara's water bottles ? He marks them with what looks like a Xmas wreath
I saw 1:14:23 for 25k. Where are the women??? Nice that they show the second pack. Feel for the guy (no. 31?) in nomansland.
Kipsang isn't done yet, his stride didn't look broken. I think he stayed too long in Japan and might have had trouble with their food.
Feyisa and Chumba are the favorites to win, but that Japnese runner in white is looking so relaxed, he might surprise everybody.
4 women together at the half including Cragg in 1:10:20
Is there a white dude in the lead pack? Who is that guy?
Exciting wheelchair finish. Dammm that looks like some work.

If it was a stomach ache why didn’t he just go to the bathroom like the rest of us? Is that against the rules?
are you trolling? go to the bathroom during a high speed marathon race? race over. so might as well stop, which is what he did.
Something is going on, and the running world is definitely going to talk about it. When it happened last year, it wasn't a big deal, because of the weather, and he wasn't known for DNFing. However, now, in back to back years, there are going to be a lot of questions.
I know Adidas is pissed. He is their main runner, no doubt about it. That wasn't a good look for the new sub 2 shoes either. If Kipsang does not get it together, I imagine adidas focusing more on Adola in the next year or so.
Can't have DNFs while in a running shoe war with Nike.
Not trolling. I think it’s a fair question. His PR is over a minute faster than anyone else in the field. Pretty sure he could go potty in less than sixty seconds. And he had 17 miles left to make up whatever time he lost.

No, he's hanging in the back in blue Adidas singlet. Bib 11.
Moroccan I believe.
1:29:20 30k
Lelisa is looking better than he has in recent marathons, wonder how he will finish.
Who dropped out at 30K?
30 km in about 1:29:30 which is 2:05:45 pace
