Who did Rupp beat in 2020? Andi straight from the nursing home and Jake Riley who never was within arms reach of Rupp. Beating Dathan like that is way more impressive. Brian Sell was a good marathoner as well, as good as Jake Riley at least.
Who is talking about 2020? In 2016 OT Rupp beat Meb - an olympic marathon silver medalist and who also was 4th in the Olympic marathon in 2012.
In the Olympic Games, Rupp was only 80 seconds behind Kipchoge who had a 2:03:05 PR at the time and who would go on to run 2:01:39 for the world record in 2018. You may also remember Kipchoge for being the first human to run sub 2 in the marathon.
He was also 10 seconds behind Lilesa who has run 2:04 and 59:22 in the half.
Do I have to explain what this thread is about again?
