I'm starting to think Rupp is going to wi this. No way for 40ye arold Abdi or Orako.

Kirui didn't have big training. Kitwar is barely hanging on.

Oh that leaves Chebet. His agent was raving about him. So Rupp or Chebet most likely.

It would be truly awesome if Abdi "Master-ed" Rupp.

Rupp is gonna take it. The others look exhausted.

Dude she has like a 3 block lead! 2nd place isn't even in sight!

It's over

Nothing is over until we say it is.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

RUPP!!!!!!!!!

Kiplagat must be 40

Ran the world juniors back in '96

Wtf!

Men

Mile 20: 5:04 (1:39:52). Kirui, Rupp and Abdi pushing and breaking away up Heartbreak Hill. Gap to Osako is about 20 meters.

Worth noting: Edna Kiplagat ran her 20th mile in 5:01.

Kirui and Rupp now gapping Abdirahman coming down the hill. Abdi looking backwards. I think he's done. Osako passes him into third.

Looks like a 2-man race.

Give us splits is Galen picking it up , the are breaking away

Mens race is breaking up!!!!!!!!

Kiplagat must have a 2 min lead now- smashing it!

seems like rupp gets anxious at every water station and surges to the front. he usually slowed down again, but not this time. is that strategy or just luck?

abdi off the pace! just kirui and rupp

20th mile ...10k territory now! I can't see anyone beating rupp!. If he wins,I'm buying some NOP gear today!

And I'm not a big rupp fan! But damn he is strong right now.

Looks like it's going to be between Rupp and Kirui as Abdi gets dropped. Osako swallowing up Abdi

looks like mayweather will take the win

Chinese treadmill!

Maybe people are freaked out by the testing.

Back to clean thon times.

Chinese treadmill guy is finding it hard.

Abdi is falling off.

Looks like it's between Rupp and Geoffrey Kirui. In his 3rd marathon. A 2:06:27 buy- 3rd Rotterdam, 7th Amsterdam.

Having a great run for sure but shows you this Boston race hasn't really begun yet.

Makes you want to start a comeback, I bet.
