Yuki is about a minute behind, looks like he is coming back with a vengeance.
Dang. That grimace too. He almost looks out of shape.
Does he have those facial expressions in good races as well? I think they showed his projected time as 2:10 a few minutes ago
From all the races I've seen him run he looks like that basically throughout the whole race. -
Shitara digging deep. He's recouped.
-
lead pack (which is down to three) through 35k in 1:46:12
-
Could we have a Byers situation here? Pace makers win the race?
-
16:12 for 30-35km
But has moved up to 16th place. -
I only know Tsegay in the lead pack and don't know who the other two guys are.

27 has an interesting drinking strategy

Those water bottles look like those ketchup bottles you see at some restaurants. Very ingenious. -

He looks like he is jogging 8:00 pace, but his heels never get within 1/2" from the ground... -
Right now I wish I knew Japanese. The Japanese announcers sound really into it.

Hattori has a 2:09:42 PR, might be a big pr on a warm day
