Um, no he's not. A 23 year old running in his 3rd marathon smashed his record. Pretty sure you can't be the GOAT if you don't have the world record. That's kind of the definition of greatest in running.
I even heard Total Running Productions say this in his latest video. It's like people just can't stand that Kipchoge has been dethroned.
Back to back Olympic titles, something like 16 of 19 marathons won, multiple world records (one of which he was at least 37 years old, but I’d bet older).
