Man what a resurgence it's been for Levins. He sets the Cdn record at 2:09 after years of all the failures of our top guys to break 2:10 pre-super shoes; then he can't even make the olympic team and is almost DFL. He could have been done there but he's strung together two consecutive years and looks like he belongs. Not until he got killed by that tv time out to watch an also ran. I think he's still got more left - next shot is sub 2:05 and Ryan Hall's all time unofficial NA record. And I think he'll show us he's got a shot to medal in Paris.

Really great to see for Levins. He’s been through all the ups and downs over the years, and it’s nice to see him come through it all with a heck of a performance.

I was watching the Japanese TV broadcast on Fuji TV. I think that all of the broadcasts are based on the Fuji TV broadcast feed which focuses on the Japanese runners. Also covers the leading men’s and women’s runners and only shows the finish of the men’s and women’s wheelchair winners.

Can tell most of the people here have never watched a Japanese race before. The classic is to not care about the womens race and only show foreigners when they cross the line. Hakone Ekiden is the second most watched event of the year in the entire country, and there are less than 10 foreigners in that every year and no women.

Keeping the camera on that 7th place runner was one of the dumbest things I've seen.
Plus almost all race coverage everywhere only shows the 1st finisher walking around after the finish and fails to keep the camera on the other finishers.

ahh this makes sense then. everyone gets same video & puts their own commentary on it. still, show us the leaders for the last mile at least..

I was watching the Latin American ESPN broadcast and all they showed was the japanese guys, I don't get it. If I was watching the Japanese stream, sure I would get that. but why would south americans prefer to watch the Japanese guy in 7th place over the lead pack??
Because they had to use the Japanese video feed. They didn't have their own cameras so they were stuck with what they got.

This was also Betsey's first marathon since giving birth and a PR for her.

Yes that definitely was the reason, it's a bit strange however that they didn't manage to provide a different international version this year. I remember I watched a replay of one of the past editions with english commentary before and it differed from the footage of the japanese coverage (which focused on the japanese athletes like today) I watched live.

I’d honestly put her 3rd on the list behind Sisson and Tuliamuk to make the Olympic team. Maybe that’s high, she’s really good and there’re some question marks on D’Amato, Seidel, Bates et al.

8th USA 2:26:08 Lindsay Flanagan. Very consistent, has been top 10 in several world majors and won the Australia Gold Coast marathon in a course record 2:24:43 last summer.

Honestly it's lucky that Kipchoge didn't run a WR when he ran Tokyo because the coverage would've been exactly the same. Japanese people tuned in to watch a Japanese record attempt from the guys they've seen on TV throughout their college careers, not to watch quick Africans.

I understand showing *both* and I'd like that happen more with US broadcasts, but when it's down the wire at the last kilometer of the race, they need to show the leaders, then go back to the top Japanese athlete.

Where can I get the results of top finishers and search for everyone else?

He really redeemed himself. Wow. This is better than anyone could have expected out of him.

Leo listed running for Newbury Park Athletic Club when Brayden and Aaron listed at Newbury Park HS at the sound running event. Idk if that means anything tho.

I didn’t watch the race this year (was our for a run) but last year they showed Kipchoge most of the way. Star power indeed - I would’ve watched if the old man was running
