Yes, at least 7 years over stated age. He was not 18 when he won the world champs 5k...
You really think It’s more likely that he set a world record at 40 than won a world title as a teen?
Does anyone know of any world class runner at 25 who was still world class 15 years later?
If anything, it’s easier to believe that he was younger not older.

Kipchoge already has wrinkles under his eyes and those lines on his cheeks. Dude has just always looked old.
Do you have any evidence that a healthy athlete can look like that at age 18?

Total NPC. Next you'll be telling us about the coming blue wave and orange man bad.

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.
He's probably 36 and you're forgetting EPO is a helluva drug.

Is it even more impressive that someone +40 years old can run the marathon in 2 hours 1 min 39 sec?
Honestly yes,he looks 18 to me.
I've never seen an 18 year old before who looks like he needs Botox!

You guys are hilarious. By your logic, when he was a 2 year old infant, he would have actually been a 8-9 year old boy. Or, when he was stated as 10 he would actually be a 16-17 years old. Those are noticeable differences that wouldn’t have been missed.
Move along. Nothing to see on this thread.
Usual clichéd ending why do Americans to constantly come out with this crap.
Especially when it is just that- crap!
Now to answer your post among the worst I've seen. Ever heard of age group cheating?
How old he looked at school is irrelevant. He started running they say look you could make the junior team you are 16 or whatever. Have you got a birth certificate, no we'll get you one.
No way was he 18 when he won the world championships 2003. He must have been at least 20-22.
He's got to be 36 at least now not his stated age. 33 come off it!

All I know is that if I were Eliud Kipchoge this photo would be framed and hanging on the wall in every single room of my house.

Maybe 40 is the new 30 for Kenyans. Afterall, a Kenyan holds the WR for masters age-group 45-49 at the marathon distance: Jackson Kipngok (2:14:16).

Proof Kenya has the fountain of youth that Juan Ponce de León was mistakenly looking for in America.
Here’s a 14 year old. It’s possible.

Whoa now! Don't get too excited, basement dweller! You might have a heart attack and then mommy would tell you to stop eating all those hot pockets!
