Official 2018 IAAF World Half Marathon Champs Discussion Thread

Kebede's has been dictating the race from 10k and now she's pulled away. Impressive run if she holds on.

Ethiopia’s Netsanet Gudeta Keberde (67:26 pb, 6th and 4th at the last two World Half champs) is the women in the lead. We talked about her as Netsanet Gudeta in our preview .

She has only run one marathon - in Paris last year in 2:29. She did bronze at World xc in 2015.

Africans to the front in the men's race.

Thought it was Kamworor at first, glad to see he stayed on his feet.

And it looks like you were right about the forecast for rain earlier.

Jonathan Gault says its Barselius Kipyego of Kenya. He fell right at 27:00 mark.

Here is the fall.

What the hell? Lagat is beating Korir??? Wow.

Holy,

Levins is in first group, but all American's off now. Lagat 7 secs back, Korir 14 sec back.

Kebede will want to keep hammering as she gets a $50,000 bonus from IAAF if she breaks women's only WR of 66:25

Eye opening performance from kebeden

seems like she's got it barring a bad tie up

66:11

Fantastic race from Kebede. 15:23 from 15k-20k is incredible!

Commentator saying male pacemakers make a huge difference

Im not sure Paula will be too pleased with some of the comments today
