Zane Robertson said Kipchoge is over 40 years old

Low IQ post. Lower your soy intake.

"Looking" a certain age is not being used as evidence here. It's the fact that E. Africans have a long and storied history of age cheating, coupled with absolutely insanely unbelievable times (12:4x "teenage" 5k runners and so on). This is WELL documented.

did you not see all the pictures that have been posted in this thread? Looking a certain age is clearly being used as evidence here.

Further, a 12:4X is an unbelievable teenage 5k time, but running a 2:01 for a marathon is also an absolutely insanely unbelievable time.

El Keniano don't mind the idiot trolls here. I for one think your great. I know we got off at the wrong foot and have had our differences but I want to be your friend. Bekele will always be the greatest. I know that is hard because he isn't Kenyan but literally from Ethiopia. I will forever believe this. I don't want it to come between us and I certainly don't want idiots here to annoy you.

You said you’d literally stop posting here if bekele literally sucked a big bag of cocks at Amsterdam, which he literally did.

Do you think he looks 18 here?

Is it even more impressive that someone +40 years old can run the marathon in 2 hours 1 min 39 sec?

Photoshopped.

Honestly yes,he looks 18 to me.

Shortly after the finish he put Bekele in a locker and took his lunch money.

Lebron looked like he was 30 when he was allegedly “18”. Lebron is definitely at least 45 years old today.

But for real... Kipchoge is at least 50.

lol

I've honestly noticed from this tweet, the interactions with this tweet, and some past tweets that this dude is not that sensitive on race. He buys into the LRC contingent that would say ALL Kenyans are old or drug cheats. We can't put that kind of a label on a majority non white country. That's not a good look. Sure some age cheats, some drug cheats, but it's not everyone. Can't just put a blanket on an entire country.

Here's Lebron in high school.

Here's Lebron as an NBA veteran.

So far, all of you have failed to show an 18-year-old teenager looking like a 25-year-old. Both Lebron and Alan Webb looked like 18-year-olds.

The "there's no way he's 18 here" logic is nonsense. Look at a typical US boys track team; you'll have 18 year old seniors who look 13, and 14 year old frosh who look 30.

Trust me, I was one of those "there's no way you're X" kids (there's a pic from my conference meet senior year where I literally look 11-12 years old.

That said, given the seeming lack of commitment to flawlessly accurate birth records in some East African countries, Kipchoge being +/- 2 years either way would surprise me, well, not at all.

Whatever his age, he's a human being who ran 2:01:39. Typing that time is still crazy

This. Anyone remember Jacob Burcham (2nd in the Adidas Dream Mile to Bernie Montoya a few years back)? Dude looked like he was in his late twenties as a high school junior. Others like Webb have looked to be similarly beyond their actual age too: it's not a phenomenon exclusive to the Rift Valley.

Eliud Kipchoge PRs at 18:

7:46 3000m

13:13 5000m

Jakob Ingebrigtsen PRS at 18:

1500 Metres 3:31.18

One Mile 3:52.28

5000 Metres 13:17.06

Alan Webb's Prs at 18:

3:38.50

3:53.43

Ritz Prs at 18:

8:44.43

13:44.70

Also, Rudy Chapa ran a 28:32 10000m time in high school. If you do the training, put in the mileage, you can run world class time in high school.

This is Jacob in high school in 2012.

Here's Jacob in college.

Jacob looked like a 17 or 18-year-old in high school.

So far, all of you have failed to show an 18-year-old looking like a 25-year-old.

Here's another picture to review from 2003.

Does anyone know how he lost a tooth?

You get it. He's the kind of person that shouldn't be living in a majority black country ... yes, I said it.

Kipchoge already has wrinkles under his eyes and those lines on his cheeks. Dude has just always looked old.

There is no way he’s over 40. It’s literally not possible that he broke the world record by almost 90 seconds at 40. That’s a stupid assessment that lacks common sense. Bernard Lagat (who whooped Kipchoge for years in the 5k on the track) is 43 and it shows; he’s not running at his best now or reciprocating his 5k results to the half marathon. Probably won’t be faster than 2:12 on Sunday.

Also Zane probably wants attention, given that he hasn’t really done anything notable in a couple of years.

A failed athlete who's USP is moving to a 'terrible, dangerous, unaccommodating country surrounded by a conniving, cheating hostile population throwing all sorts of obstacles to keep him from achieving his dreams'. Sponsors were intrigued. Except Kenya is anything but that. Again, can someone explain why such a bigot would move to, and continue living, in Kenya of all countries?

I wonder how you feel about his twin?

Eliud looks about seven years older than this guy:

Only smart people this whole thread states the obvious he just ran 2:01, he is not 40 years old. You can do lots of sh*t in all sorts of skill sports but your 40 year old heart and lungs isn't running 2:01 end of story.
