Mosinet Geremew (2:04.43) and Joan Chelimo (2:18.03) set new Seoul Marathon course records

Geremew, the 2018 Dubai winner who also has been 2nd in Chicago, London, and the WC and has a 2:02:55 pb (London 2019), smashed the CR of 2:05:13. Earlier in the year, Geremew was a DNF in Tokyo.

Chelimo smashes the Romanian record in her first race since acquiring citizenship. Has taken the record from Dita-Tomescu by almost three minutes.

Surprised Romania have gone down this path given their outstanding history of female marathon runners.

I have Melly at 14 in the world and 8 sec runner-up sutume Kebede at 16

Cool story bro.

Pretty sure it's the same guy who was chumming it up with Kipchoge early on in Sapporo, then fell to the ground with an injury, got back up and sprinted back to the lead pack, only to drop out a few minutes later.

Good to see him throw out an excellent performance; dude ran like a champ.

Great race on both sides. Not easy racing in Seoul. G just had another gear. Master of the marathon.
