When its better to follow on live tracking and letsrun thread than actual tv coverage... that is a problem.

What if they showed wheelchair basketball during the NBA finals, split coverage with the game? Wouldn't that get a little annoying? If I want to watch the wheelchair race, I'll watch that separately.

I'm usually pretty lenient on the coverage of the WMM Races, but this has to be the worst broadcast I've ever seen. They're clearly having problems with the cameras on the lead vehicles for the men and women's races which should mean that their commentary is that much more important. Instead, they're ignoring the running races and almost exclusively showing the wheelchair races. Embarrassing...

Lol what makes you think they are clean?

I'm pretty loudly cheering this Hug guy now to finish just so that we don't have to watch any more men's wheelchair coverage.

I just don't get the wheelchair races tbh, it has more in common with cycling than actual running. Doesn't make any sense having it all in the first place in a RUNNING race. I think its great the wheelchair athletes doing a race and being able to win money but feels out of place at marathon RUNNING race.
I feel like it’s because running courses are more doable on a wheelchair. Climbing the Alps would be impossible on one.
It's not even the same sport. They devote entirely too much tv coverage to this stuff.

Pat Tiernan looking so relaxed.
He always does look good, flawless running mechanics, but I have doubts he'll sustain the leader's pace all the way, although delighted if he does.

Marcel Hug reminds me of 1973 Secretariat.

This coverage is insufferable. There should be a dedicated running channel and a dedicated wheelchair channel. Two entirely different sports.

I'm watching the ESPN 2 feed and the commentator said "He continues to lower the bar with every race"

John Gault did you bet on this who you got? Korir?
I did not place a bet, but I picked John Korir to win on our Friday 15 podcast.

Maybe they could start the wheelers an hour earlier than they do?

If you watch the coverage of tour de france or other cycling races, these marathon "coverages" are just total disappointments.
Is there an HD version of the broadcast? Only rarely are we seeing shots that are not pixelated and low-res.
Upgrade your internet?

As much as we all hate the fact the tour is 100% professionals. Boston is over 99% amateurs.
Boston is 99% runners yet wheelchairs get about 60% of the coverage
This supposedly official Boston marathon thread is 96.3% comments bashing wheelchair racing broadcast.

Wheelchair racing is to road running as field events are to track.
