You know who I'd rather see racing Eliud in Berlin? Geoffrey Kirui. After Eliud, he and Kitata have impressed me the most this past couple of weeks.
Really happy for Vivian, though. Mary and Tirunesh weren't smart to go out that fast in those conditions.

Kipchoge, what a goat. Put a 22 second gap on Kitata that last 2.2k. (+11" at 40k, +33" at finish).
Rupp would have likely gone around 2:04:30-2:05:00 here.
Farah being interviewed on BBC, he clarified that the "altercation" with the motorcycles was him asking for them to pass the message along to sort out the drinks and ask the staff to hand the drinks rather than take selfies with him. The interviewer asked if this was wasted energy but he reasonably stated that drinks are quite important.
There is no one close to Kipchoge now.
Anyone know what Chelanga ran?

What is impressive about attacking a camera man and throwing the drinks of your competitors on the ground?

For the second half? That's just mean man! :-(
Great run by Farah. I’m the same way Tyson Gay was great but struggled to beat Usain Bolt. Kipchoge is on another level at 26.2. I am sincerely surprised Mo beat Bekele. Any of these top 5 guys would have won Boston. No disrespect to Kawauchi.
What happened to Wanjiru? Did he finish?

Actually - picking up drinks while running 8 meters per second could be a legitimate sport in it's own right!
Not that BBC wouldn't mess broadcasting that up too I guess... :-(

Lol. These dopers would not stand a chance in Boston. All would have either DNF'd with one barely straggling in.
They can't even run well in the weather that they like.

What is the basis for thinking he's better than Mo?
He's not.
In any case, it's a moot point, because Galen is too scared to ever go out at WR pace.

Hilarious. Millennials...

61/63 split by eliud. Someone needs to remind him that even pace is best. Wonder whether Farah would have been better served to try run 61:45/62 even split than 61/65.
Nevertheless, great run by Farah of for no other reason than helping to shut up some of the LR haters ;-)
LRers don't like it up 'em, as Corporal Jones would have said.
Bekele is not as committed to running as much as Mo.
Has not been for a long time. He's way too busy with all the businesses he run in Ethiopia.
A fully committed Bekele would always beat Mo.
Bekele is incomparable with Mo with regards natural talent.
A clean Mo is not better than the average runner. When Mo used to run clean up until he was 27, Bekele was a lap in front of him on the track
