Official 2022 Berlin Marathon Live Discussion Thread

The hero we all need here

Did he go out too fast?

Some dodgy splits between 26 and 29, then back to 2:48 for 30. Was it a breather before winding up again?

Oh g-d, this is epic. Excruciating for him, and for us fans….

In some way it's kind of reassuring that sub 2 isn't happening, that there actually are physical limits and consequences for going out in 59:5x. Looks like rojo's social security checks are safe but still a great shot at WR

Keira update?

Looks like he just realized wtf he was doing. His face is pain.

D’Amato in 13th through 25k, last 5k at 2:21:30 pace.

Slowing down, on pace for 2:19:24 through 25K. American record doesn't look to be in the cards today

We still haven’t seen the smile so he’s still comfortable. Belihu on the other hand is starting to show it on his face and stole a look back for the first time.

Kipchoge? That’s his last 10K face. Nothing out of the ordinary for him.

Adola's 60:48 should be the record for "fastest first half and still wins the race". That record will be gone

How pancake flat is Berlin? Is it flatter than Chicago? (no bridges)

Kipchoge? That’s his last 10K face. Nothing out of the ordinary for him.

I'm here. I was trying different feeds, German, Spanish, etc. Now I'm watching in English.

I woke up and saw him in Gemran wearing those red trampolines and thought, "What the hell shoes are those? HOw did we not discuss the obvious, "Nike has a new shoe so of course he'll get the record."

When I heard he went out in 59:50, I declared, 'You don't go out that fast and win or at least blow up."

Guy is a god but let's see what happens. Could be the opposite of the 2:01:39.

That's a normal shoe? In red? Looks like he's on a trampoline. I thing we shoudl crowdfund and make him race his next marathon in regular flats. See a) What how much the shoes are worth b) Give everyone else a chance.

Whats this mean?

"You don't go out that fast and win or at least blow up."

Kipchoge still looking supremely relaxed approaching 33km. Still unbelievable how f'ing good he is. Last km in 2:53. Nice

I thought your were making fun of me for being old. I"m not 65 yet. Forgot I wrote that.
