Kipchoge looks vulnerable
Kipchoge looks vulnerable
30km: 1h29'
Kipchoge in the back of that pack now and I swear I saw some grimacing. Hmm......
Why is Mo pointing for the Brits to pass him?
Kipchoge just tossed away his hat... this just got real!
Kipchoge no hat. Time to pick it up
2 mins later, Kilchoge takes his hat off and hits the front.
Ahhh...we are gonna miss the juiciest part now!!!!
Hard to tell if Kipchoge is struggling or just toying with them.
The female bbc commentator is Hannah England (former 1500m runner) btw.
Kipchoge with the hat off. He’s serious now.
Got a feeling he is about to drop the hammer and splinter the group.

Keep in mind that he is in his mid-50s as I have learned from years of reading the letsrun forums.
Brett Robinson going backwards by the looks, hope it's just a bad patch and he can regroup
lol at everyone thinking Kipchoge is struggling.

It's definitely Mara Yamaguchi on the commentary that I'm hearing.
I don't know who the male is however.

Letsrun always provides premium troll support.

Which is the flotrack channel, so maybe not the BBC commentary!
Kipchoge is around 5 ft 6, 120 lbs. I’d say Kipchumba is around 5 ft 11, 140; not little but not exactly the hulking human they’re making him out to be.
Also, Kipchoge looks good, but considerably less stoic than usual. Very curious to see when he goes and how that plays out.
Kipchoge pulling a Kip Keino!
"In Tokyo he purchased an orange baseball cap that was to become his trademark. He would throw it off in races when he felt he had won. Ron Clarke, who would race him many times in the coming years, wrote about this: “One of the strange sidelights to Kipchoge…was his flamboyance, which somehow seems a little out of character. He warmed up in a blood-red tracksuit and ran in an orange jockey cap, which he dramatically discarded when he made his final burst for the tape.” (The Unforgiving Minute, p. 169)"

This race really shows you the difference between men's and women's running. Just the depth. Yes, I know the men aren't running historically fast but how many women would have been able to go out on the equivalent of 2:06 pace?
has there ever been 8 or 9 under 2.05.20?
