I heard so much talk about Kipchoge struggling in Boston because of the hilly terrain. Others raised concern about his age. Still, others refused to believe Kipchoge could possibly lose. I mean, he did just set a WR...

Now that Kipchoge has lost, what do you think the main factor was in his loss? Was it the terrain, his age, or something else? Curious about your evaluation.

Why is it so important for her to hang on to 5th place?
