I would say, as of now it’s not even close. She’s medaled in the 1500, the 5000, the 10,000, she is a multiple time global gold medal winner, has run a ridiculously fast half marathon, and now is a major marathon winner against one of the greatest fields ever assembled.
Let’s not forget the 1:56, 800 just for a bonus
Think Gidet should give it a try?
You mean Gidget? The Flying Nun? Why not, look at what the flying Finn could do.
Anyone get the last 400 split? I had the last 600 if the BBC clock on the screen was right in 1:50 which is 73.33 pace.
I timed the last 385 yards (352 meters) in 64.1 seconds) which is 72.8 400 pace.
The race clock at 600m to go was 1:59:51, so his last 600 was 94sec. Not sure where you got your numbers from or what you even mean by 1:50 and 73.33 (for 400?)...assuming 1:50 to go, there is no marker anywhere around 1:59:35
...and where do you get the 385 yard marker from? There is no marker nor mat anywhere near 64 sec to go. There is a timing mat under the big gantry at 2:00:31 (54 sec to go), if one assumes that to be 26mile (could just be a spotter), then the last 400m is around 61 sec, in line with the 600m split
Not sure what you were smoking, but can I get some?
Interesting watching the contrast. Kiptum looks like he's about to die in those final 400 yards.. then collapses at the end. Kipchoge always looks like he's on his recovery run, crosses the line, then runs around all happy. No judgement either way.. it's just interesting seeing.
Back when 2:03~2:04 was the norm, the big question was about whether 2hrs could be broken in a major marathon. Kiptum's run(s) makes it seem more realistic now.

See above...you would when you have just dropped 94 sec for 600m, and 61sec for 400m after that distance and pace. Kipchoge would't stand a chance
Tom Durnin ran the 26.2 miles to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. The marathon started at 10am for the first to set off. Tom crossed the line ...

The 385yds to go marker is the final overhead gantry - it literally says "385yds to go" on it. Though perhaps you'd only note this if you were actually running the event (I did). That (for me at least) was the 26 mile marker.
