I think Kipchoge might have a future in Marathon running

Nice job cutting away for a 5 minute commercial with 2 miles left and a tight race between 3 runners. I really didn't want to see the details of how the race played out anyway.

Kipchoge’s form just keeps getting better ever since....

I am so proud of these kenyan runners, so proud to be kenyan

I think the commentary sucks. I expect that from mile 19 and above we would be able to watch the finishing dynamics instead of the media talking of themselves and unnecessary interviews

Every other nation covering any sport: says sponsor name and the event while covering the people, their motivations and action of the actual sport USSA covering ANY sport, including NBA for you people thinking I'm referring to only running: Sponsor, coverage, commercial breaks, sponsor, coverage, commercial (if outdoor event then add 10% to 20% on weather/ "backstory" of how the event is so "good" for the city)

Alternative title: 150min of weather reports with a bit of running.

Great guy Kipchoge!

the weather girl needs to go easy. who wants to know whether its going to rain or not. we wanna see people running.

so proud to be kenyan. Kenya 1 kenya 2 kenya 3 . kenenisa bekele nowhere. women race kenya 1 kenya 3.go kenya we are best when it comes for marathon. we dominate major city marathons than any other nation in this world. kenya the greatest running nation.

Great race coverage!

The goat in marathon race

You really cut the best part of the race for a dumb commercial about the organization?? Are you fx#x#in serious??????

@Athletics Videos just earned my sub. More marathon vids!!!!

Kenenisa Bekele is a Best!!!

I reckon this Kelvin Kiptum kid from Kenya will dominate this distance in 2023 and beyond

Kichoge un gran atleta

Ridiculous! Missing the break in this race is like missing the winning goal in a soccer match! Fire the lot of them!

STEVE JONES RUN IN 1984 AND 1985 REMAINS A CLASSIC. THE GREAT WELSHMAN .

Yes!

Rita Jeptoo may have her title stripped if the accusations of her using a performance enhancing substance are true.

2:14:13 It bugs me that a runner who has just achieved a spectacular time in a marathon is bullied off to the side of the course by a bouncer tasked with keeping the ordinary folks out of the picture. I agree that it's a good idea to disallow the women's champion from having her thunder stolen by an unknown guy who may elect to sprint against her to the finish line. In Boston and NYC, this is avoided by giving the elite women a head start, which is altogether a classier system than finish line bouncers. Perhaps having a single men's and women's start is a more purely athletic method, but if purity is the goal, then athletes should be allowed to do as they wish at the finish line.

El mejor de toda la historia

they pronounced his name Kip - Ko- Gee... smh

Worst commentators i’ve ever heard! Weather forecast every 10 min? Really? Commercials all the time, Americans can make you hate anything. Bravo

No false starts in marathons? I hardly imagine that would matter at this distance. It is not like they have a 5 minute head start. Maybe a half second advantage?

lindo

Exactly---there' SO many weather reports on & on -I may DNF this video----- the tiny cameo shots of the race w constantly being interrupted---- scattered all over the place& with all the inconsequential stuff boring everyone interested in watching the race ---its VERY frustrating.All the other major marathons show the actual race which is why it's been looked up here to begin with They should have 2 videos---1---the race & 2) ALL the 90 minutes of marginally related topics ........whew....!

fantastic field. Kenenisa Bekele is a fabulous distance runner but he's not as good at the marathon as a few others including Haile Gebrselassie and Eliud Kipchoge. Who will ever run faster than Dennis Kimetto did when he set the world record?

how crappppy is the quality :(

God made Kenyan for running machine

Kipchonge run 26 miles still very strong

Fiero di aver partecipato in 3h and 08'.

this guys pretty good, he should start running professionally

rita jeptoo could win chicago marathon cleanly. Doped or not Rita still talented at marathoning.

IN 1985 STEVE JONES WENT THROUGH HALFWAY IN 61min 47 sec BY HIMSELF .

Well if u just had ran one...one marathon...men what acomplishment

I think Rita won't doped anymore after the drug ban.

This is the worst coverage of the marathon... what happened when the men were still running in a group and the 3 leaders took off on their own????..... THEN what happened when Kipchoge took off on his own to win the race??? really?????.. what a waste of time if you are looking for the competitive moments of the race... Obviously the race was great but the coverage sucks and the commentators are not at a 100%.

How ridiculous that they went to a commercial with just two miles to go AND it was a VERY, VERY close race. How stupid was that? So after that commercial at self-promotion (never a mention of how Bank of America is funding (partially) the pipeline that may go through North Dakota AND how their private mercenary firms brought in attack dogs and other weapons against PEACEFUL protesters. Sure, he's a nice guy, but I wanted to see a MARATHON finish and I'm thoroughly disappointed as are other viewers, apparently.

How embarrassing waxing all poetic about Rita; a role model, indeed. Oops.

Kenenisa is a beast!

Such a horrible job at broadcasting a marathon major!! I’m SO glad I didn’t watch this live. They treated this like a hometown 5k race. Nothing but 2nd tier news anchors; “reporting live”. And how many times are you going to report the damn weather forecast?? At least 5 times. Jesus. And the commentator constantly talking over Joan Benoit-Samuelson🤦‍♂️ This was truly amateur-hour. We missed a great race by Kipchoge in his early days because they were too busy reporting about the bands on the street corners. Ugh.

i never knew even the elite runner have pacers... that's odd. i thought the 3 guys in red were competing. is there a reason they need pacers?

I always felt American marathon broadcasting is so cringe and looks like 5k Park run at below 480P comparing with EU or East Asian standards.

Last last last last

SAD NEWS TODAY AUSTRALIAS RON CLARKE 17 WORLD RECORDS HAS PASSED AWAY TODAY.

How this shit run ao fast?secret in farm or genetics?So many guys train and what we have?

Why do the yanks have this idiotic habit of front running when their PR is 10 minutes slower than their competitors? What does that do besides wearing them out in the first 3 miles? Not to mention embarrassing themselves on the world scale...

so those kenyan can only run and run ?? can they read newspaper or wash dirty plates?

Pathetic coverage too much talking and less of the action!

Those cutaways are horrible

Samuelsson keeps saying 'woman' for the plural and murdering the names of world famous marathoners. What cave did she crawl out of? So annoying.

butchering of non-english names is terrible. why is he cutting meat with a spoon?

Muita propaganda, notícias, entrevistas e corrida que é bom nada. Que porcaria de cobertura de Maratona. Querem fazer merchandising vão fazer em outro lugar gente chata! A maratona feminina praticamente não apareceu e a masculina quase nada.

American marathon commentary is just astonishingly, stunningly awful.

Lamest TV coverage ever. Who cares about the weather after the start? Missed the two big breaks of the race. Put the human interest stories on in the first haf!
