Max from Sweat Elite in the podcast's London Marathon preview, on KB's chances at the Ethiopian Olympic team:
"NO CHANCE!"
"He got beaten by Reed Fischer."
"Zero chance. Not zero, but far less than 50/50."
"I just don't think it's gonna happen."
"There's no chance he finishes as the top Ethiopian."
😆
This Max guy needs take insurance.
He also says in the same episode that for a women's WR, the race needs three women to make it to 30km on pace. Even through Kipchoge ran alone from 27km to 2:01:09, and Kiptum ran alone from 30km to 2:00:35 (with only one other runner making it past 21km).
