Amos Kipruto is a decent journeyman who just lacks that extra oomph to be an actual winner, if you ask me.

Especially with Bekele in the race. We all know who the real winner is going to be. No explanations needed

It will be a replay of 2016 and 2019 Berlin, perhaps not as fast (I can see 2:03 happening though). Either way, he's gonna send 90% of letsrun home DEVASTATED

I hope, nay, I pray this comes to pass, BB. Screw the WR, a Kenny win would be the highlight of the year!!

OMG I am anxious about Bekele, I truly hope he wins! The half he did was ok, if that was in hard training... Let's send it. But the field is strong with Bashir and Legese(who hasn't been running well this year or?)...

Oh Legese is in this as well, it's gonna be a repeat of the 2019 Berlin Marathon then. Him and Kenny B set out at sub-WR pace, he "drops" Kenny at 30k before fading himself and letting Kenny overtake him to finish in 2:01:11. Everyone goes home devastated.

What happened to Leul Gebresilase ?
He was on the startlist, he's in London and he's still announced by the NN Running Team.10 -

Love this prediction. Although I don't believe they will go out WR pace... And believe winner will be around 2:03.

Rojo, Wejo, Jon, and others: you need to look deep into yourselves to realize the truth.
2:01:39 was not a fluke. Bekele is the greatest runner of all time. Either he DNFs or he wins with a new world record. KIPCHOGE IS GOING TO BE SWEATING BUCKETS WATCHING THIS RACE!!32 -
Amos Kipruto won the rainy Göteborg half marathon this year in 01.00.50 (not shown on his World Athletics profile) as Tigist Assefa the winner of Berlin Marathon.
Is it a good omen for him ?00 -

Never been happier to be proven wrong. Kipruto looked so good dropping that hammer.

I started getting faith in Kipruto when he dropped his 2:03 in Tokyo behind the great man himself. He looked very good today and I believe he's learnt a lot from the G.O.A.T.
Beating 8 elite Ethiopians on your own is no mean feat. The guy has arrived.

By the way, Kipchoge could still break his world record next year. I have a feeling he'll go for the sub two.

I hope he ignores the pressure to run these slow American courses. We need him to be sure he put in his best when the time comes to retire.
