Kiplimo’s 22nd mile split was 4:46, dropping him to 2:00:30 pace. I think he’ll miss the WR but enter the top-3 fastest with Kiptum and Kipchoge—the Kiptrio. Mantz is running the AR for sure.
Nothing new: The Chi Marathon coverage is terrible, as usual. Tech issues, amateur production. Mute all and hope they at least stay on the leaders till the end.
Good coverage from a war zone
Where are the protests, smoking buildings, etc. or was that a lie too?

Can you put a price on a barrier like that??? Bannister levels of recognition for decades to come, one hopes!
Except Nike and Kipchoge ruined it with their stupid stunt. Now when casuals hear that someone ran under 2:00, the common reaction will be, "Wait, didn't someone do that already?" Then we tell them "Yeah, but..." and they're like, "Oh, umm, okay."
