Does Dubai have no homeless? No beggars? No one sleeping on the street?

These announcers don't know that the split is 2:55 flat per km (just under like 2:44.94 or something). So it's 14:35 per 5k. THey are well under pace.

Why does anyone need a free stream? THe race has been on for 20 minutes for me and I haven't watched more than 10 seconds of it. I just am hearing two guys babble and going to the site in Germany every now and then.

What is Bekele wearing? I can 100% guarantee you that Galen Rupp would not be dressed in black. Are these guys stupid? I'd wear a white singlet 100% of the time.

The guy who posted the free stream did us a great service - it is non-stop coverage. Check that out.

the announcers are suggesting these six guys enveloping the women's pack are just "locals" hanging on which I find hard to believe. Isnt it more likely they have six male rabbits?? 3 in front and 3 in the very back.

Why aren't there any decent Muslim marathoners?

Because they've been known to blow up.

I don't think Bekele is in the group. But the announcers haven't noticed.

Bekele 10 seconds back? Ruh roh

12th place right now bekele

did Kenny drop?

I think KB had a yellow orange shirt on.

bekele 10 seconds back

I swear it said Bekele was like 10 seconds back at 10k. There were at least 2 Bekeles listed though.
