Kenenisa Bekele also at London Marathon

Wow Amazing. I'm calling it now: Kenenisa to beat Eliud and Kiplimo to win overall, possibly under two hours

🎵🎤Bekele Bekele Bekele!🕺💃🎶

You saying you betting that he'll win? I'd love that to happen but am not betting on it

I am expecting nothing less than a victory, a course record, a world record, and a sub 2.

Masters world record, maybe. No way he runs sub 2. But someone might.

Please read my words slowly next time. Kiplimo is the only one I'm willing to call out now as perhaps running sub 2. Sawe could run 2:01 low but i don't think below that yet

I’d bet my house, car, and 401k that Bekele finishes before Kipchoge.

This is so exciting! A race within a race. Let's go Bekele!!!

Maybe a 2:03.

You are silly and he will DNF.

He won't DNF. He had a bad time in Valencia and Olympics, and knows that DNF renders it game over on his career. The question is what tactics he will use. I expect Kiplimo to go off very fast (half under 61, maybe under 60), sawe to also go pretty fast opening half. Mutiso, Bekele and others remain to be seen.

No thank you. This is becoming like that American “Secret of Oak Island” show now.

I think Kiplimo should set his sights on Kissa's NR in his first attempt and go for the sub 2 on a faster course. 2016 and 2019 have been only two sub 2.04 finishes in London, both won by the G.O.A.T.

In April 2023, Kiptum set the course record at the London Marathon (2:01:25)

Kiplimo should target 60 exactly at the half, and Sawe should go with him, maybe Mutiso.

Tola in a 2nd group, Bekele and Kipchoge in a 3rd group

Yes, and then Bekele kicks for the win. SAYONARO

Your wording was ambiguous bro. You could just as soon have been saying you were picking Bekele to beat both Kipchoge and Kiplimo and to possibly break 2.

I think it will be a good race between Bekele and Kipchoge and almost certainly not for the win. I think Kipchoge will probably win the head-to-head, but I wouldn't be surprised if these two old men try to run with some of the young guns and both end up dropping out. Like for many, Kiplimo's recent half shattered any illusion that I may have had that he could be clean. Having a duel between two old GOATs does make the race more interesting to watch.

Cairess will finish above kipchoge and Bekele

Kiplimo will do a Cheptegai, 2:08 shuffle

I like how that got downvoted, he humbled them both in the Olympics!

Kiplimo won't run a superfast marathon debut.

Cheptegei had worse credentials at HM than kiplimo. He is a pure 5000m and 10000m athlete

Kiplimo has the purest running form of all

We should expect a debut faster than Kiptum and Sawe for Kiplimo
