Alex Yee looking very strong. Only 1 minute off the leaders at 25km. Could well run a low 2:07.
London better break the bank and get John Korir, Sabastian Sawe and Jacob Kiplimo to start together next Spring.
Beautiful running form from Korir here

Why would he be pacing Haftu? they're not even from the same squad.
From all accounts Brett wanted to get back his Aus record.
I think this is essentially the changing of the guard in Aus marathoning atm. Brett's 34 and not getting any faster
Ryan Gregson has also slowed down every 5k split. TDC at this rate will be minutes ahead of Gregson and a chance to overtake Brett.
Good sportsmanship in the female race

What an effort for TDC (knock on wood). Two kids and a full time podiatrist. Put him on the World Cross team.

Needs to run 6:20 or faster for the last 2.195k, might just miss it

2:04:55! He breaks it by 1 second! (If the tracker is accurate)
Aussies guys blowing up everywhere.
