I pray that Yuki beats Mo and Galen.
We know you're actually praying he beats Rupp. Because Rupp is a paleface. lol
If all three are healthy, Yuki will not beat Mo or Galen. Mo winning will depend on his PED use. Rupp is under too much scrutiny for PED use, which all the Rupp haters are aware of, but they play out the NOP are cheats game.
Maybe some other runner will beat them all. That would be the best and funniest outcome.
Without pacers, Yuki could make an already interesting race even more interesting, although I still wouldn't expect him to be a contender in the final miles. With pacers, I think he just adds to the pre-race publicity and broadens the international audience for what will become yet another time-trial between thoroughbreds. In fact, I'd be a bit surprised if Pinkowski brings in any other runners who are likely to pose a serious challenge for the win. Too bad.
Yuki is a guy who lies, who claims to have a 40 hour a week job, but somehow miraculously arrives at international marathons for a weeks at a time...
Can you do that joe lunch pail?
I think not.
He runs PR’s on typically short Japanese courses, (Kenny Moore once said’if you need a PR, go run a Japanese course’)
A pretender who goes to Massachusetts and run a 2:19 ...what a great guy!!!
Test that boy, he’s as much a cheater as any East African.
Same training, same results wrote:He's only broken 2:10 four times!
Twice under 2:10 in two weeks, one of the greatest running feats in history.
Please tell me how many times mr. Yuki has been tested out of competition.
The results will shock you.

You do realize that these courses that Yuki has ran 2:08 on are ratified. So tell me again how they are short.

Also, I still take random Kenyan or Ethiopian in 2:04-something. All we have confirmed for this marathon is a bunch of 2:06 guys.
That's just the thing. Rupp would love if some random Kenyan or Ethiopian would go out at 2:04 pace. He would eat him alive and finish under 2:04.
Rupp destroyed 204 guy sisay lemma in Chicago and Prague. I'll take Rupp over a random 204 guy anyday. I've said before Rupp could definitely run 203 or faster in Berlin, even when his PR was 209. Only Kipchoge is a better marathoner right now than Galen Rupp. Mo Farah wants to see where he is at versus Rupp in the thon. I think Rupp takes him here (unless Farah is in his head big time) and Mo is focusing on improving steadily towards Tokyo 2020 marathon gold. Farah could have run 204 in London with better weather and pacing.

Lol Yuki will not be a factor unless disastrous weather occurs like Boston.
Haha only effective in shitty weather lol how dumb is that comment? So when conditions are super optimital he loses his ability to perform? That's what being washed up and under-sexed does to you.... rotting brain zombie cranium. The guy has run 26x sub 2:12 ..lol. 79x sub 2;20. His four best average is 2:08:31.8 ... [2:08:37; 2:08:15; 2:08:14; 2:09:01 ... his 4 best].
