Love the British announcers. Re "poor Mary" : "The marathon had it's say in the final stages, as it always will" SO TRUE!!!!! |

4:48 24th mile. So it looks like the 2:04 won't happen. Sub 2:05:30. 4:50s versus 4:30s costs you a minute. He's up 55 seconds. 1 3 Mutai, Geoffrey KEN 30 1:54:45 +00:00.00 4:47 2 4 Kebede, Tsegaye ETH 24 1:55:41 +00:55.82 4:50 3 2 Mutai, Emmanuel KEN 27 1:55:41 +00:55.91 4:50 4 1 Gebremariam, Gebre ETH 27 1:56:26 +01:41.38 4:52 5 6 Gharib, Jaouad MAR 39 1:56:48 +02:02.57 4:52 |

He's slowing slightly to 5:05 pace. Through 23 miles in 1:56:39. 2:12 looks likely. Maybe 2:13 |

You realize that means he's on pace to run 2:07 in New York? And perhaps better the previous course record? |

There you have it folks. The Kenyan marathon team for the Olympics is complete. As I type, Geoffrey Mutai is earning himself a ticket to London. |

So, great debate, would Mary have won if she had not run like a fool? Why do elites still make elementary mistakes. Kids ......just dont go out too fast. |

Mutai is an absolute machine. Watch him run. The current world record is a joke. Put him and Mosop at Berlin on a nice day and the word record will get totally smashed. |

I would hate to be the guy selecting the Kenyan marathon olympic team. |

This may just be part of the Kenyan mentality. Do you think we'd be in 2:03.XX if it wasn't for that mentality? Did you think 2:05 would happen in New York for a men's course record if it wasn't for that mentality? BTW Mutai just passed Jaguar1 |

Ego. I wonder if she would have gone out so hard if Shobukhova hadn't just posted such a fast time? |
| NativeSon |

You know AK has the last word. BUt I do think Geoffrey has earned it. NO pacemakers, destroys an elite field that has Emmanuel, Tsegaye and Geb Geb. ONly Geoffrey can do it. KIspang, I am sorry. |

I think Mutai just passed Galen Rupp. |

Where are the next set of American men placewise (Moran and Curtis)? |
