What happened to Belihu, Korir will be second, he has a best time of 205 49 from Paris

Sub 60 first half and still held on. G O A T
Once in a lifetime runner. A sub 2:00 'Thon seems beyond current human capabilities.
How much would be a bonus for sub 2 hours?
I simply cannot believe that mf hung on to break the wr after a sub hour first half
It will happen in next 10 years.
In pursuit of glory, Belihu is having the worst day of his life
Rip to the 2 African who went with Kipchoge the first half.
Can he handle Boston/NY is the running equivalent of "could Messi do it on a wet Wednesday in Stoke." It's the dumbest question in sport.

I'm actually kinda disappointed after that first half. Still, congrats to the GOAT marathoner on another WR!
I guess he still had to give it a try (sub-2 in a legit race) so he wouldn't have any regret in the future. Good for him! But clearly he has sub 2:01 in him.
Kipchoge beat 2nd place by ~a full mile (4:45 diff.) Insane.

He had a three minute pr, which isn't too shabby
Belihu 4th in 2:06:40. 59:51-1:06:49 splits.
Can't wait to see Letesenbet Gidey's and Sifan Hassan's 'Thon debut!!!
Belihu, 2:06:40, 4th. 59:40 at half….big fade after 35km…..kudos nevertheless

r.i.p, literally
Didn't know "Super Happy" was German.
Kipchoge is just a transcendent athlete. Watching him go for it and still hang on for the WR was such a gift. One of the greatest athletes of all time

I like that he finished, and a big PR as well (from 2:09 IIRC?)
