What's the over under on Ota now? If Cheptegei faded to 2:08 in his debut, I think there's no way he breaks 2:10, right? He got caught and dropped by the 2nd pack well before 30k.
He just ran an 18:00 5k between 30 and 35k. HE's on 2:08:47 pace but another 18:00 5k will put him at 2:11:41 pace

Cheptegei in 9th in 2:05:59. Solid step up from his 1st attempt, he's trending in the right direction
That's a terrible result for someone of his caliber.
The Marathon is an event where there can be physiological reasons people just can't do well in it even if they do well in other events. Plus he is 6 feet and 135. For context Kipchoge is 5 1 and 115.

I don't know what he was thinking the first half. Foolish to run like that.

Yeah I’m not buying those figures, especially Kipchoge’s height.
