At least for the men, this did not compare well with the other WMMs, especially Berlin and London:
-The field was much weaker at the top than Berlin.
-There wasn't much depth in the field based on recent times or PRs.
-The winning time was only 2:11 on a flat course with good conditions.

Stop being so sexist.
1) The women's race here was WAY better than Berlin.
2) The men's race featured a great, exciting finish between two heavy weights.
All of the fall marathons will be a little watered down after the Olympics. Who cares what the time was? Does the casual fan talk about Mo Farah's winning time or the winning time of the Kentucky Derby? No they do not.
