7:3223:01 Anyone notice? Commentator mistakenly told TWICE that Meb Keflezighi (USA) won 2004 Athens marathon, when he was second after Stefano Baldini (ITA)
I'm watching the Paris 2024 men's marathon and I can't help but notice how small the crowds are compared to London 2012. I had to come here to check I wasn't misremembering London. I wasn't.
Here after watching the film Runner (2020) about Guor Marial from the newest country in the world - South Sudan. You can see him with a dark grey/black outfit on the right side and later on the left side soon after the race started. Hope to see him in Tokyo 2021.
I was the best sprinter in my high school, I know I could keep up for 200 meters, after that they would drop me!! LOL. They run 20 kph, for 42 km. Most people could not cycle that far or that fast. I could, but only with my E bike. I loved that the crowd was so into it, such a huge change to watch from Tokyo this year. Tokyo was still amazing though, just quieter. Cam
I kind of feel like at each checkpoint, there should not only be a time chip, but also a radar gun at each checkpoint to detect each runner's average speed per hour and per minute.
As an announcer myself, I'm glad you guys were replaced. Great voices but too darn DRY! You two do much better matched with more upbeat men, like Steve Ovett and others. Good contrast like that
Thinking about it, they run at a pace of about 3 minutes per kilometer, which I can't run even when I give my best when running my 4 - 7 km run. It's sick
I like athletic and love to watch it, specially track n field. Only the matter to request IAAF members to change pole vault n high jump rules that'd all. As an athletic some jump from lower n some jump directly from higher level. Every one must jump from same level. That will be fair game, according to Mr.
The American runner accidentally grabbed his teammates water bottle at the first water station, you can see him make an annoyed expression and call the other American up to him, kinda funny.
@@rorydenholm7943 Sorry but I don't remember. Wish I timestamped when I commented years ago. If it helps, from what I can remember it was pretty early on in the race, and I believe Meb was the one who grabbed the wrong bottle.
THIS is a real olympic sport. Not games we have today like shooting, archery, etc. The Olympics should be about exerting the maximum performance out of the human body to achieve results. Today games we have like shooting, bah grab a gun and shoot no effort on the body.
I agree with u that this takes a thousand times more physical effort than shooting and archery, but do you think it doesnt take skill and precision to do what shooters and archers do?? They deserve respect as well
Maybe because both commentators consistently refer to Mebrahtom Keflezighi as the winner in Athens 2004. where he came second. There were probably comments causing embarassment :)
The announcer needs a little more excitement in his voice. Kiprotich made his move at the right time, when everyone was slowing down he picked up a notch.
The commentator said it was funny how the kenyan checked his watch 5 mins in whereas I saw plenty of runners checking their watch one minute in. The kenyan was probably checking how fast he went for the first mile.
Why even compare yourself. So what they ran so and so speed. Unless you are an elite runner comparing yourself to them is irrational. It is like comparing apples to oranges.
Blunder after blunder after blunder. A real low in British commentary - an institution that usually prides itself in depth, background, insight... and, at least, accuracy.
I know, calling Meb the 2004 Olympic champ was an all time low. Duh, try doing a Google search... or better yet, hire broadcasters who actually follow the sport.
London 2012 Olympics were the best ever.
The commentary is so dry...but I appreciate so much they actually uploaded these videos. This was the best documented Olympics by far.
Cecil Evans ikr. Loved the full events. Hate The highlights they did for 2008 and 2016 olympics
Cecil Evans football 🏈
what can you expect though? they are commentating for 2+ hours, i get what youre saying but you have to take that into consideration
I think it was from BBC and tax funded. The reason for the whole coverage?
They name checked a lot of runners, which was excellent, but their vocal style was indeed understated.
Kiprotich really hung in there. The two Kenya runners ran with him but her stuck it out and came out on top. Respect.
The best part is that you cannot foo

7:32 23:01 Anyone notice? Commentator mistakenly told TWICE that Meb Keflezighi (USA) won 2004 Athens marathon, when he was second after Stefano Baldini (ITA)
Already more than 10 years ago. Stephen Kiprotich propelled Uganda into athletics powerhouse especially in the long distances
I have more respect for the last guy, he seems as if he was struggling. Well done to him 🙏🏽
I agree running 26 miles is way harder than it seems especially at that pace
Anyone notice Stephen Kiprotich sharing his sponge with Abel Kirui at 1:14:34? Cool moment.
I'm watching the Paris 2024 men's marathon and I can't help but notice how small the crowds are compared to London 2012. I had to come here to check I wasn't misremembering London. I wasn't.
Its incredible how easy the Kenyans make it look....awesome stuff.
Yes. Thanks
thank you so much Stephen Kiprotich for representing our motherland . we shall always remember you.
this sport must be one of the hardest for the mind and body
At this point Ugandans had written it off as yet another olympics edition without a medal

The main reason I respect these men is because they run miles faster than I did at my best in high school track n field
Well I am not really athletic myself
I was the best sprinter in my high school, I know I could keep up for 200 meters, after that they would drop me!! LOL. They run 20 kph, for 42 km. Most people could not cycle that far or that fast. I could, but only with my E bike. I loved that the crowd was so into it, such a huge change to watch from Tokyo this year. Tokyo was still amazing though, just quieter. Cam
thanks for showing all finishers, and the whole story, (tv marathon coverage never bothers).
I love watching this stuff.
I kind of feel like at each checkpoint, there should not only be a time chip, but also a radar gun at each checkpoint to detect each runner's average speed per hour and per minute.
I am saying this to where the winning person could get 2 or 3 medals in total, individual race, individual average speed, and team average speed.
That's stupid
It is not stupid because the olympic games is a team event.
Peace...love...unity
How to make 3 hours go by at work
That final stretch. Amazing run!
Respect 🎊🎉🎉🎊🎊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
es precioso ver a estos atletas hacer algo que muy poquitos humanos son capaces de hacer, mas es bello verlos correr
It's fun seeing no vaporflys on the shoe shots.
As an announcer myself, I'm glad you guys were replaced. Great voices but too darn DRY! You two do much better matched with more upbeat men, like Steve Ovett and others.
Good contrast like that
Running shoes have changed so much in 8 years
we have NIKE Alphafly today ... totally different design ...

Steven kiprotich of Uganda ❤️❤️❤️
Thinking about it, they run at a pace of about 3 minutes per kilometer, which I can't run even when I give my best when running my 4 - 7 km run.
It's sick
Optimismo para el evento
Creo que al querer verles llegar lo hago verlo bien en llegar
if you could run 3 minute/kms for 7km, you would be an exceptional athlete
A lot of people don't appreciate these guys. They're doing about 4:40 miles for 26 miles....stupid to think about.
smootskin You can’t run that fast for that far
i love kipsang, idk if you could tell
Suban la Maratón de rio 2016
Many Japanese men and women athletes have entered the marathon's world stage, representing Asia.
great crowds and London streetscape

Why two lines in the start? Is it not a Olympic Marathon where everybody got there by the same trials?
Why are the only comments from within three weeks on an almost 5 year old video?
Maybe because both commentators consistently refer to Mebrahtom Keflezighi as the winner in Athens 2004. where he came second. There were probably comments causing embarassment :)
Someone active comments
Kipsang would of won gold for sure if he had waited till halfway before making his move.
My grandma could hzve won this race if she had the genes and if shd had the ability to run and if shr trained well. Lots of iffs.
@@robford3211 Your Grandma would "NOT" have won any race!!! nonsense!!

Why would they delete comments?
No. Just focus on the running. best way to pass the time
Marilson é o cara
Ojalá algún día pueda ser alguna de estos. Estoy entrenando duro para conseguirlo. Ya con menos de 15 años pude correr 10km
19:11 amazing speed

1:22 "but he's dead now" wtaf
Yep. True. big scandal over here.
Lmao same I mean "he passed away" sounds so much more professional and respectful
I didn’t even finish this one but I did stay up all night and it it 5.27
Quem será o campeão dessa prova? Não vi na época...

Ethiopia really dropped the ball in their men's lineup. Should have went with Kebede.

Who thought about COVID19 at this time?
Their pronunciation of Meb's name is incorrect and way off.
True. And also twice been told that Meb won in 2004 Athens marathon, when he was second after Baldini
Am I dumb or why is there only a few people at the starting line in the beginning, and security is holding other runners back?
goaldigger5 They show the most well known runners to the crowd and tv then they all come together just before the gun goes
Yes you are dumb and you obviously know nothing about sport
Me: I will run and finish it
Coach:I know you can do it
Me:take care of my bottle
Why were the other runners separated? I am sorry.
corrida maravilhosa, aqui não tem equipe,aqui é Deus, o corredor, e o som dos passos
How fast in kilometers per hour and miles per hour did the gold medalist go to get his winning time?
About 20kmh
Great!

Where was Eliud Kipchoge in 2012? Too young to run?
amazing !#🙂

Wow
I don't like the way the Chinese dude run, his moving all of his body, looks like wasting more energy than others.
Correct me if i'm wrong
smootskin And he started too fast. The asian athletes always tend to go too quickly and don’t have the right stamina, so they die out quickly
RyanPlaysGames Maybe they try going for 100% on the start and then go faster bit by bit... Sounds like a smart idea
Your wrong!!
