Am i the only American who roots for the AFrican guys to beat Rupp at the end of these races?

No.

But you said he is a god!

Go Rupp Go!

Like I respect him amazingly but him winning is like too much for my brain to handle with the Salazar stuff.

I'm glad he was excited to do so well. He was very emotional.

He and Pinkowski must be close. He just kissed race director Carey Pinkowski!!! I've always wondered why h e comes to Chicago and not NY every year. That may play a role.

Be nice to actually see Emma Bates.

sara hall looking rough, but also why not show bates.

Have they shown Emma bates on TV? She’s about to finish 2nd! Get Sara hall out of my tv!

Can Emma Bates finish strong by running on "Pure Hate."

Emma Bates in 2nd for awhile now and can't even get a camera on her.

Chepngetich has totally fallen apart but is going to win easily.

Here are her 5k splits:

15:37

15:45

15:53

16:39

16:58

17:21

17:52

18:15

Looks like the TV doesn't know Emma Bates is in 2nd place.

I understand :( that’s how I feel about Shalane now.

Along with being an easy course, Chicago's an easier and more comfortable big city to visit and stay in before a marathon than NYC. That could be a factor too.

Masterclass last 5k from Tura. Good race all around good runs from Galen and Kiptanui

To be clear ‘good race’ is an understatement for Galen’s run… third race and second marathon in 8 weeks and he does this?? It was quite warm, windy, not super even pacing…. He has to be able to get into the 2:04s. AR next year?

Been seeing that posted here since 2016 and still waiting. Don't hold your breathe for that. Nevertheless IMPRESSIVE 8 week recovery. The question will be: Can Bekele do the same in New York or he will blow up?

Emma Bates was 4:53 back at half way and is now only 2:27

Final men's results, USA got 5 in of the top 10 surprisingly:

Anyone see the cheeky kiss from galen to the race director?

Most awkward thing Galen has ever done and that's saying something.

Biut that's not even his coach. It's the race director.

Go Emma Bates!

I'm African and rooting for Rupp. I dont know why you Americans hate him so much. He has never tested positive just like Kipchoge. I love Rupp, I love his temperament.
