Just shows how much of a clown show long distance tri racing is. More of a battle who can game the system most. He also used a chest fairing on the bike. Completely illegal in bike racing . Everyone ok with this is also ok with the latest PED not listed on banned list cause it's so new.
Kipchoge will be 60 years old (in five or six years), and with the rule changes will be airlifted to a 26 mile, 385 yard stack height Nike shoe, and will then fall forward with a parachute onto a giant air bag just beyond the finish line, and set a new marathon WR.

What would be the highest stack shoe that would increase stride length and with new age foams still be light?

The following year Nike will update the shoe and place the midsole stack onto a carbon fibre hinge spring so Kipchoge can fall forward faster. Nike Lab may also introduce holes into Kipchoge's parachute to further increase his rate of fall. Those updates should lead to another WR...

Point to point courses aren't record eligible😋
You say that now, correct.
But if I told you ten years ago that racing flats would be 40mm and higher stack height, or that a sub-2 marathon had been run on a small loop course with rotating pacers, or that T*ump had been president, or that we'd had a global pandemic that killed 6.5 million people, you might not believe me either.

"Chest fairing."
You mean his water bottle?
You're a clown.
What water bottle is triangle shaped and as wide as someone's chest? Even then if just a water bottle, still not legal to tuck in there for bike racing
to point out the obvious... that's Dingler's whole point, is that FINA would basically classify what is used in Kona as a wetsuit, essentially. They're so far beyond what is allowed in pool comps that they border on being wetsuits, for all intents and purposes.
Gustav and his shoe sponsor were so clever to realize that a high cushioned shoe gaves an edge in marathon running. Maybe that was the difference between 1st and 2nd place.

But London Marathon is point to point isn't it? Khalid Khannouchi?

I would love to know how customized a shoe Nike could make if they knew an athletes weight, loading pattern, and rough pace. And course what is the max foam you can get away with. What does a 100 shoe look like...

It does not work endless, because there is the weight of the shoe to consider. You have to finde the sweetspot between cushion, responsiveness and weight.

Finish is close enough to start to be eligible. A 26.2 mile straight line isn't...clearly we need a 13.1 mile shoe. He can do a flip half way and come back...
