Looks like Ivo did, in fact, DNF today. No splits are posted yet, but it'll be interesting to see how far / what pace he ended up running if they are posted: https://my.raceresult.com/215679/results#1_20903A.
Crazy to think that he got on the plane and flew to Berlin knowing that he had to DNF—he can't actually run 100k and, even if he did complete the race, it would be so slowly that it would expose his Moonlight Boogie time as fraudulent.

He made it to 47.5KM in 3:12:11 before he dropped out after averaging 4:01/KM up to that point. I looked earlier when the live tracking was still on and his first few splits were too fast but then he settled in to about 6:30 pace. His marathon split was 2:50 I think, and his projected finish time if he had been able to maintain that pace was 6:45.
By comparison, he claimed he broke 3 hours on a 50KM solo time trial on a bike path and supposedly broke 5 hours on the hilly Moonlight Boogie 50 mile course.

Looks like there was no Moonlight and short cuts in Berlin today. Too bad.
He is actually a very capable masters runner. It is bizarre that he creates these complex fraudulent performances.
It really is. Before he made his strava private there were years worth of embellished activities, all to build up an image of him being a world class runner.
I find these cases really fascinating. I am a psych nurse and have met some bizarre personalities but I haven't come across this specific type of PD behaviour in the clinical setting.

Benov update >>> on Oct. 8th he ran the IAU 50K European Championship in Spain for the Bulgarian team. He ran 3:50/km (6:10/mi) pace until 30K then he faded to a 3:30:31 gun time. He ran the final 10K in 53:24 (8:36/mi pace) and the final 5K in 27:17 (8:47/mi pace).

This seems pretty in line with what you'd expect if a 2:45 guy tried to run a 50k at faster than his marathon pace right? Interesting that he claims to have run well under 6 minute pace for 50 miles during a hot, hilly, non-competitive night ultra in North Carolina (GPS didnt work, of course!) but can't run sub 2:40 marathon pace for 30k without starting to slip off of it at a world championship event.
