ELIUD KIPCHOGE ? 2:01:40 !!!

Just lol @ at the bugmen celebrating this.

This record is as legit as Chepkoech's steeple, Dibaba's 1500, and George Manangoi's age.

Once the Kenyan house of cards completely crumbles y'all will act like you knew all along.

Lol enough already. Go look at archived posts, this has been spouted for years and nothing’s come of it. In fact, people have been saying this crap since Keino and nothing’s come of it.

I am loving this :D

Go Eliud! Go Kenya!

Things already are happened though. And will continue. You can bett on it.

Also, Kipchoge can probs run 58:00 in the half mary right now. That's be interesting.

El Keniano,

Eliud ran 2:00.25!

I don't care that it wasn't course eligible.

He ran it! He owned the record before today and frankly, this guy might do it again next year!

He might give it a go in London. He is a cut above.

Agree 100%.

Stat from Hutchins during the awards ceremony: Kipchoge averaged 28:49 per 10k. Incredible! I don’t believe Kipchoge dopes. He’s just the greatest talent in history at the marathon.

I think his Berlin win equals or eclipses his Breaking2 run. He might have gone even faster today if he had some people in front of him.

Berlin was the Kipchoge mic drop!! Now, can everyone please stop questioning if he’s the GOAT?

This race moves Kipchoge's breaking2 performance down to his 2nd best performance. The continual pacers and more drinks from the bike in breaking2 were probably worth an extra 90 seconds compared to his Berlin performance here.

My other thought;

Bekele has really wanted the WR before retiring. This will sap his motivation. I hope he can still run well next month.

Note to other elite marathoners:

Its Eluid's world. You're just living in it.

Was he wearing the cheat shoes?

Marathon GOAT=Kipchoge

Middle Distance GOAT=Hicham el Guerrouj

Distance GOAT=Haile and Bekele tied. (Bekele has the advantage in XC, Haili had more success at marathon)

Since "Distance GOAT" encompasses a broader range than middle distance or Marathon, Haili and Bekele are still the OVERALL DISTANCE RUNNING GOATS.

Serena Williams=female tennis GOAT...NOT the greatest athlete of all time. Everyone knows the greatest athlete of all time was Bruce Jenner.

We now know why Kipchoge said he was going for a PB and not the WR.

He planned on smashing the WR by so much that it was irrelevant.

The pacemakers didn´t last very long. He has more in him.

... won by 5 min; obliterated the old record and finished looking as fresh as a daisy.

2:01:39, big deal. We all know he would get crushed by a real athlete like Walmsley or Jornet in an ultra.

This record is sticking around awhile, I just can't imagine even Kipchoge approaching it again. He had a hard enough time getting the 20257 (because of the weather and other intangibles). Sub 204 is still a pretty rare.

This record is lasting all of THREE weeks until our savior, Galen Rupp smashes it.

Is there a free replay anywhere?

Kipchoges average marathon is now 2:04:06 Including Rio.

He averages 2:04:00 throwing out Rio.

If I add breaking 2 in and ignore Rio, Kipchoge then runs 2:03:40 on average!

Wow...

fack!! I fell asleep before it started. I don't even care if he doped, wish I'd seen that live
