Bekele looks to have run the last 800m of the Berlin marathon in 2:03, maybe faster. The clock was 2:01:00 with 0.8 km to go. Fastest last 800m of marathon?

One thing we do know: he is faster for 800 at the end of a marathon than Bolt is from a fresh start.
It should be 2:08 for the last 805m, still absurdly fast nevertheless.
On a side note, Kipchoge ran the last 600m in 1:38, which means Bekele pulled out an even faster closing than did Kipchoge! (~16:00s per 100m vs 16.3ish seconds per 100m)
Chasing that WR. Too bad he couldn't pull out a 1:56.
