A 3k uphill is coming up, should separate the wheat from the chafe.
Last K is mostly all downhill, should be a lot of teeth gritting, wish Yuki was in it!

OK so maybe they catch Shitara or maybe they don't. But they still have to beat out everyoen else in that pack more or less. When does someone make a move? Is it Osako-san?
Yeah, only Top 2 guaranteed a spot. Who will be the 2 Papa-sans?
gonna be a long 7.2K for Shitara
Meant to say he is jogging. His stride does not looks good at all.
They have him in sight. Probably 30 seconds
Smith leading, Dixon closing in.
Shitara's lead is down to 32 seconds at 35k...this is gonna come down to the wire!
Osako grabbing his rib, looks like he's fighting a cramp.
What drama on the streets of Tokyo!
The lead is down to 32 seconds at 35k
35 seconds officially.
Shitara looks somewhat comfortable still. Maybe he’s saving something
They're just starting the hills, someone will crack!

This is going to be a wild finish. See how hard these guys go at Ekidens, and now it is to represent the country on home soil. They will give everything.
I'm liking Hattori. He looks very smooth.
I've not yet seen shitara look backwards, is he confident? He just seems not to give a sh**!
Less than 10 seconds now. Has he slowed down a bit knowing he’s caught?
Osako in prime position here.

I took a look at the HTML and whipped up an HTML page so I can view both the men's and women's race in one page.

Copy & paste the text between the '======' and put into file with HTM or HTML extension.
Convert the '[' to ''.
Save.
Open that HTML page in your browser. Enjoy (though I still get pauses in both videos even at lower resolutions)
Yeah, right. I'll get right on it. How about just provide some play by play for us plebes?
I got it to work.

That's how he always looks. He has a really good poker face.
This is wild. 9 guys chasing Shitara for 2 guaranteed spots
It certainly looks as those Shitara will be caught. However, this has been a truly heroic effort. Now he just needs to go out and run 2:05:49 or better Fukuoka, Lake Biwa, or Tokyo to become the ultimate legend.
They just smoke by shitara, he's toast.
Shitara just looked back at around 1:52:30
