Official 2020 World Half Marathon Championships Live Discussion Thread

Kiplimo looks so smooth. Cheptegei has a bit of a hitch to his stride. Does he always run like that?

If Kiplimo wins this, do we view him as the new GOAT. THink about it. His 3k is SICK. So if he beats hiim at age 19 at the 13.1 distance, what will that mean.

It reminds me of tennis. No one could ever be as good as Federer. Oh wai, here's Nadal. Oh wait, here's Djokovic. All basically equally as good.

Kiplimo seems like he is trying to avoid gapping Cheptegei.

Take away his super shoes and he's 'human' ...

Cheptgei isn't even going to medal..... Wow.

Well I guess h'es only 5 seconds back

Kandie is coming back on Kiplimo

Cheptegei is going to explode like in Kampala maybe lol

Kiplimo going for it. Chep had to be feeling that 10k in his legs, it was only 10 days ago!

This is GREAT. I mean Kandie looks like he's sprinting thewhole time. Rocking back and forth, grimacoing. Kiplimo look slike he's out for a jog.

So the theory the announcers had of , "If the first 5k is slow and tis turns into a 10k or 15k, Cheptegei will rock it" has been disproven.

Jakob could have medaled.

55:55 at 30k, 13:38 split.

Kiplimo to the lead around the 54 minute mark. 2 second lead at 55 minutes.

20k.

Kiplimo will be under 59 or near, crazy.

One month ago he did 7'26 on 3000m...

Amdouni 8th in 59'40, congrats!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no.

Kiplimo and Cheptegei look like they may become the greatest 1-2 punch in distance running history at this rate. Cheptegei seemed too happy for his teammate to worry about his slightly off day.

Way to go, USA. smh
