shouldn't Eliud post something about Kiptum?

Kipchoge is a fraud. People love talking about how great of a guy he is but he’s a d*ck. Acted like a child after getting embarrassed in Boston. No respect for the superior Kiptum. Kipchoge is the most obvious doper of all time

He* should have said “Deer Kenyans”

If Kipchoge is the class act he is purported to be, he should have publicly congratulated Kiptum within 24hrs of the new marathon world record.

"Is Kiptum update?"

Here's the thing. Eliud doesn't give a f***

Global Sports gives a f***. The people that actually run his social media.

I'd be shocked if Eliud even has access to his own social channels. You can already see the acconut is managed out of the Netherlands. And GS isn't going to congratulate an athlete that isn't their own. Even if it aligns with Eliud's persona.

Same with Faith. No mention of congratulations on her 5K WR being broken because it was done by an athlete that wasn't of GC and that account is also ran out of Netherlands.

But at the end of the day - that's wrongs with this f***en sport. People expect stupid crap like that. Michael Jordan isn't going to congratulate Magic Johnson or Larry Bird publicly. All that crap comes after retirement.

Tighten up.

Is it time for Kipchoge to move on to ultra running after the Olympics? I mean he’d dominate Comrades, Western States if he wanted.

Kipchoge is worried that when asked for a response to his congratulations, Kiptum will switch to Norwegian and say, “yeah, many people are happy about my performance”.

Only dorks salivate over social media posts

Not normally into this kind of gossip, but it does seem strange. I mean even Bekele congratulated Cheptegei after he broke his 5k/10k WRs (which put an end to his dream of holding 5k,10k and marathon WRs simultaneously), and we know Bekele is someone with high pride.

He removed 2:01:09 WR from his Instagram bio, but left 1:59:40. He didn't even keep the 2:01:09 time as a PB on the bio.

The first time Kipchoge was asked if he was worried about Kiptum, after Valencia, what did he say? "I'm not worried, that's great he's run 2:01. I've done it twice." So what happens when Kiptum runs 2:01 again and seems capable of breaking 2 hours? Kipchoge had to point out "he'd always be the second person to break 2, I was the first."

Kipchoge has this reputation of being a humble competitor with great sportsmanship, but it's easy to act like that when you win. When he's lost, he's blamed a clogged ear one time, and a vague leg injury the next time (without acknowledging the hills might have gotten to him). And when his status as the best marathoner is challenged, he makes sure to highlight his accomplishments as being more impressive. He's been subtle, but every step of the way he's made petty attempts to one-up Kiptum and now he has less ground to stand on.

There's no doubting Kipchoge's greatness on the roads, but his actions this past year make me think he's a bit of a sore loser who isn't as humble as people want him to be.

That what everybody says.

Will never happen but I would love to see Kipchoge beaten by a no name South African or one of these sub 2:30 Marathoners at Western.

Am I the only one who NOW looks at him as a doper?

Their clash in Paris next summer will be epic, assuming Kipchoge doesn't retire before then.

No. How would he be compensated?

"Is ran" is never, ever correct.

Why are you all whining that EK isn't the straight-laced, atta-boy, good-attitude, shake-hands, humble sportsman you thought? We don't need that.

We need a feud like real sports. EK needs to start throwing shade and getting shade back. And then the big showdown.

We need these guys bristling with violent roid rage like NFL linebackers before they break a QB's legs.

With a belt buckle, free Oreos and potato chips. Also a high five from other ultra walkers.

He's fake humble, most people are not a fan of people that do not present themselves truthfully. Nobody in this trend except you cares about how he chooses to present himself as long as he is honest.

Worth noting that Kipchoge's (genuine) Instagram account removed the 'WR' title from the caption, and replaced it with his sub-2 time. He hasn't made a post on it since 2022. Awkward.
