Kelvin MR Kiptum!

At this point it’s hard to care about this sport.

2:00:35 and the first man under 2:01 on a wr eligible course. Discus

This sport hasn't been better and more alive in a long time. So no, it is very easy to care about it right now.

The clean WR!

Dont care about drug cheats.

it’s an unbelievable performance. not normal.

Is it too early to say he is the world's best male marathoner now?

These paces are so slow. Impressive time would be sub 1:45

2:01:53, 2:01:25 and now 2:00:35. Gold at the Olympics next year and 1:59:xx soon

Nearly two miles ahead of the first American. This is delightful!

What does the discus throw have to do with this?

What are they putting in these shoes

Average marathon time of 2:01:18

Comparing Kiptum's run to the Kipchoge-Monza 2:00:25 attempt:

It's not the pacing phalanx, it's not the electric car up front, or the fluids/tights/vest etc.

It's the shoes!

Out of competition EPO cycles and corrupt drug enforcement bodies

Envy is a bitter pill to swallow.

A decade from now, Kipchoge and Kiptum may be cast in different but equal luminance: Kipchoge as the greatest marathoning track guy; Kiptum as the finest pure marathoner.

...and Hassan as the most useful of them all.

you don't run that fast by respecting anyone's mother
