NBC coverage horrible as usual

Light years better than “watching” a race via twitter updates like in the ultra world... I’m loving this.

Once again I'm struck by the poor quality of the coverage. From the frequent, lengthy diversions to pre-recorded segments and conversations between the broadcasters, lack of split screen, video and audio failures, and poor camera angles, it's as though we're in the very beginning of sports broadcast and people are trying to figure out what works. Really, I would expect a better result from people trying to do this for the first time. It feels more like a troll.

I agree. All side stories and advertisements and little video of race or discussion of what is happening.

is there a way to tell nbc in real-time to show the gd race?

Perfect for Letsrun message board posters!

Now instead of showing the race, we can listen to a Nike shill on NBC.

Is there an athlete tracker showing who is in what place??? This coverage is bad and we have no clue what is happening

wolfgram in 4th right now!!!

I'm watching the race on NBC so naturally I have no idea what's going on in the actual race. Can someone update with splits and leaders please? Thanks.

Holy balls. We missed the Brain Schrader breakway moment.

It’s like you guys have never watched a marathon before.

No, I totally want to watch Hutchings complain about shoes instead of the actual race. ?

anyone notice schrader made a move?
