The pacers should have livestream GoPros on them for race perspective.

Mantz 2:07:20 pace at 20k.
Should be noted that Frank Lara is a second behind him.

Blowup or WR?
Blowup. Even if you're in 2:14 shape, going out on 2:09 pace through 10k is stupid.

Why aren’t the non-binary runners getting any love? This is offensive

Lol. The best coverage on the stream comes when they go to a break and they put up a split screen of all four elite races with no commentary

World Athletics should mandate Elite coverage for any race that wants to be a major.
They should have an in-house streaming platform to access majors and other athletics events.
I'd happily pay to know I could see all the majors and major champs yearly and not rely on this awful coverage.
World Athletics could also invest in the infrastructure to cover these events, cycling can cover 200km stages in mountains but some races (5th Ave Mile comes to mind) are filmed on potatos.
This this this

chepngetich is on fire. before I heard what pace she was on, I saw her ahead of Matt MacDonald and was like "oh he's not doing well", but no she was just going that fast.
also, the announcers are so bad they have no clue about the sport. when would you hear "I wouldn't have even thought of that" during an nfl, nba, mlb, nhl game from a hired announcer? they're supposed to know about the sport so they can inform us, not be clueless and amazed like this is some exotic activity
That's the person who acts naive to throw to the experts. Like Best in Show.

The number of wheelchair athletes is so small compared to runners that it doesn’t deserve the disproportionate attention.
No one watches wheelchair events. They should stop showing and paying them.

Yeah, likely, but what if...

Are they entertaining the runners or are they making them cringe?

So Herpesa Ngessa has already disappeared ? WTF is wrong with this guy ! This is likely the last he appears in the start list of a major city marathon.
If memory serves he's the one who'd painted his shoes in Dubai 2019 as he was an Adidas athlete and ran with the N% !
Ok so it's Herpasa Negasa and he dropped out after 15k when he was 1' behind the lead pack.

There was a tailwind! At least Keira thinks. I don't know what I want more, a WR or Emily Sisson to win. Probably Sisson, right?
