It's Official: Eliud Kipchoge to go for it again at 2018 BMW Berlin Marathon - Also will be joined by Kipsang and Tadese

This is Kipchoge's auspicious moment. WR for sure. Sub 2:02:00 probably. You really think these other amateur pvssyboys can defeat YODA?! Not likely! We pathetic whitebois know Kipchoge is the TOTAL master. We will be watching.

It's funny how everyone can even predict the weather here. I mean, there's no other way to be so sure of a result unless you are confindent, more than 3 months in advance, of the conditions of the race day, right? :P

Wrong. Kipsang beat Kipchoge in London and broke the WR while doing it, so he cannot be counted out. Kipsangs problems of late have been taking on more carbs during a race, as well as switching to a new drink. He had stomach issues in his last two marathon races.

Kipchoge's ability to run fast marathons is slightly overrated. He is more of 2:04 guy than a 2:03 guy, and Kipsang is a pure 2:03 guy because he has run more 2:03 times than any other runner in history.

Before Kipsang dropped out with stomach issues in Berlin, it was him, adola and kipchoge running together. And Kipsang looked good up until that point.

You would be foolish to count him out.

A little disappointing here as I wanted to see what he could do in NY, or against Galen (and possibly Mo) in Chicago (of course Kipchoge would likely win either). I guess if he gets the WR going to Berlin will have been the right choice, but I doubt it happens. Hope I'm wrong tho..

Proving once again that Scorpion is an idiot. When it comes to details, you are a master of none.

He has more important things to do, like seeking a WR, not pleasing the boring Americans.

lolz but al gorn was soooo confident to predict the next 10yrs and we were supposed to be under water right now!

I mean HE is going to break the WR no doubt as he already ran 2:00:25 i think, even though its not official its practically a time

I'm going to predict a win by Zersenay Tadese (because if I'm right I'll look like a genius and if I'm wrong no-one will remember that I made such an idiotic prediction).

Don't point this out when making your BOLD prediction or you ruin it. Just say Tadese will WIN.

Fortune favors the bold.

Bekele is done. He is more likely to DNF than get the WR.

I want to see Kipsang do well, though. If he can finish, then he could POSSIBLY challenge Kipchoge.

At this point Bekele would be fortunate to be invited. And he won't be doing himself any favours going to Berlin to be defeated, yet again, and irritate Kipchoge by arguing about the pace. It's been years since he last won and he's in dire need of a win. I think he should try a marathon he can win to avoid becoming Dennis Kimetto who just goes around collecting appearance fees.

Yeah, I wonder if he will be invited to Berlin or not. if not, what fall marathon would he go in or would he wait until Dubai?

He is still a big name and was 2nd in London last year even if not a great time he still has ability unlike Kimetto.

I think Kipchoge will win again but miss the WR again.

Kipchoge will get the WR only to lose it to Farah three weeks later.

Bekele annoced he was running Amsterdam
