He got his comeuppance for dopinga these years. Age doesn’t even begin to explain how he dropped out as Bekele is 3 years older yet still ran 2:12 and finished the race. The thing that explains seems to be that kipchoge felt contrite about his doping and stopped doing it since 2023 Berlin when he won in 2:02. We then see his true physical fitness without drugs in 2024 and 2023 Boston too.
After some probably justified criticism for underperforming abroad and in championship marathons Japan had a great day; first nation to have all 3 of their athletes finish
Akira Akasaki - 6th - 2:07:32 (significant PB down from 2:09:01)
I think Valentin Betoudji of Chad will be the final finisher. No one left besides Nageeye has registered a 40km split and Nageeye could have walked the last 2km and finished by now.
As I am typing Bat-Ochir just went through 40km. He might jog it in still!
Mantz and Young right at the finish line to congratulate everyone. So good
“Nice job. I’ve got some reading material you might be interested in.”
LOLOL, that was pretty good. Now I've got an image of them at the finish changing into crisp white button down shirts with ties as soon as they've finished. ;-)
