I don't understand a lick of Arabic but these announcers are pretty entertaining

That hairpin turn made me cringe
1:42:37 for 35k? That can't be right. Wouldn't that make that split a sub-14?
Correct split 13:48 last 5k.

13:55....1:28:42+13:55=1:42:37....

This runner Kiptum ran his 10k to 20k split in 27:16, It says now on 2:02.39 pace at 35k Isit Correct?
I thought it looked like they were pushing but holy smokes a 13:48 at this point in the race?? Seems a little suspect but we'll have a better idea after the 40k split
Rojo,
Cut them some slack....its the first year inaugural marathon...easy. they will learn, just like all the bigger marathons. Dont judge!
Quick thought...Kiptum needs to help this guy out. Feels like he is completely using him, and pulling some kind of Mo Farah move here just drafting off of him.
Kiptum looks like a machine but Kipserem like to have that eye of the tiger to beat him. Then we got the Ethiopian Chris Solinksy back there, Debela.
Yes, they are rolling now. Not shocking considering you have a guy who is sub 26:50 10k, and just smashed the wr in the half. They will run 2:03:05!
looks like kiptum is just drafting the other guy
Just got off work what stream is everyone using
An incredible race so far for sure!

Why? ,$100k for first, $25k for second, he's running to win.

Not to mention the crazy time bonuses they get...lots of money. More in bonuses then in overall prize money...crazy that the 20th runner could walk away with 50,ooo$ if under 2:11.
