As the other guy pointed out, ‘Bekele’ is a patronymic. Kenenisa does not go by ’Bekele’.

How tf is a 2:52 female considered elite?
She was Dutch champion (in a year without a strong field)
It doesn't surprise me that races don't want to pay big $$$ for a washed up doper. Bekele's best days are WAY behind him at this point.
I hope all competitors in tomorrow's Amsterdam 'thon avoid and steer clear of the red light district in the city. Legalized prostitution, drugs, and other inappropriate hedonistic activities are bad for one's health.
S.O.W.P.

Your a moron. He isn't washed up or doper. Look at all the Kenyans been catched doping to the gills. Bekele will be laughing tomorrow, and so will I.

This is literally Banana Bread's last full day of posting before the end of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon when he'll bid this site adieu for good. Use these last few hours well and ask him for answers to everything you didn't understand.

Who are the pace setters and what are the projected half split,30K and 35K splits?
Men's lead group set for 62:20, with 3 pacers: Edwin Kiptoo, Jacob Kendagor, and Terefa Debela. According to Alberto Stretti's twitter. There is 2nd group with 2 pacers scheduled for 64:00
There are 2 different Edwin Kiptoo's with IAAF profiles. One with a 59:26 PB and the other a 60:11. Kengador has a 59:36 and 2:07, and Debela a 60:22. This might be the first time I've seen an Ethiopian pacemaker in a marathon ...
For the women there is 1 male pacer per group, set for 70:20 and 72:00.

If the first half is in 62:20 it should be easy for Bekele. He is better at negative splitting and will definately finish the last half faster for a sub 2:04. He should get the course record and masters world record. Dubai might be to soon for the actual wr but he should do London again and maybe Dubai 2020. Berlin next year to maybe. I can't wait to see Bekele destroy everyone again like he has done on the track.

FMD, that's slow!!!
At least it's realistic, it would be a PR for Wasihun and Cherono and the Amsterdam CR, as for Bekele, not exactly his PR but it would at least put him back on the right track after two wasted years...

What happened to the outright world record?
He can't get a masters world record because he's not an age 40+ master.
