Kipchoge says he goes for a PB. Why doesn’t he say WR?

SIGH. Clearly you just don't understand the simple concepts at play here.

Good luck with life, thicko!

Here Kipchoge’s speaking about not being the fastest in the world but being the fastest in history. That’s a little bit in contradiction with the PB argument

You idiot, that isn't his quote.

Thicko.

You are the thickos. It doesn’t matter if he said it or not. It is his picture with this phrase, and he got money for this ad. That means he approves it. If he had any problem with it, he wouldn’t agree to have his face together with this saying.

Oh brother...That's a quote from the Nike commercial everyone is flipping out about, which is why it is in quotations.

I don’t remember you guys saying “oh brother it’s an ad” when Kaepernick was on Nike’s ad”

Doesn’t seem like there is any point you are trying to arrive at so I’ll just give you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you are a troll.

The point is that When Kipchoge speeks of PB instead of WR, it’s clear that he isn’t being honest at something, doing some sort of trickery strategy. No honest man would speek of running a PB in a marathon when it’s an 8 seconds margin from WR. In fact if he gets a PB and not a WR, that would be one of his greatest disappointments. So he is aiming for a disappointment? And to all those thickos who say “his PB is 2:00:25”, the only thing that this argument is implying is that he aims for sub 2:00:25, because he is speaking of PB. And according to you he’s PB is 2:00:25. Very dum argument

His goal is to be his best self. It’s that simple but for some reason you can’t grasp it. There is no dishonesty about it, you just want something to complain and look ignorant about. Also, I never said his PB is 2:00:25.

If Nike paid me what they pay Kipchoge I'd let them spin words for me too. And this is nothing new, already back in 1969 NASA marketing people wrote "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind", Neil Armstrong didn't come up with it himself, that part is just PR spin.

It can only mean one thing: Kipchoge will run faster than the current WR, but knows that Kipsang will beat him, meaning Kipchoge will have a new PR but not the WR.

I'm amazed no-one of us though of that alternative already. Proof of how great we really think Kipchoge is, even those who don't wanna admit it.

Yes, obviously he's prepared to run a PR, but someone else might still finish in front of him with an even better time getting the actual WR.

Hfdg,

You are the one not making sense.

The World and Kipchoge knows that the 2:00:25 time does not count as a PB due to the set up. Considering that as a PB would be fooling himself.

When he talks of a PB he means the best time he ran in an official marathon.

Kipchoge’s victory is as certain as the rising of the sun tomorrow

How do you know? For all we know he might count separate PB's for all separate race courses he's run the Marathon at!

I do! ;-)

His PB is 2:00:25 and he's going for a PB. Very obvious, you idiot.

Kipchoge failed set a new personal best in the marathon today.

He had the settle for the world record.

I hope he’s ok with that.

Real knee-slapped.
