The race starts Saturday.
PS. While you are debating that, can someone tell me what the conclusion on his Everest stuff was? Faked or legit?
I remember talking to a trail fan a few years ago and he said he didn't care much about Everest. To me, it's very meaninfgul. I foudn this on reddit.

It has been shown that he (Kilian Jornet) was fabricating GPS data. 4 people on the mountain that day, two Americans and two Indians, just a few hours behind, stated that he was nowhere to be seen, coming or going. Combine that with the fact that there is nary any evidentiary data to support said climb, the conclusion is as obvious as it is obnoxious: He, Jornet, did not summit, nor climb the mountain, with, or without oxygen, with or without ropes. He did fabricate, prevaricate, manipulate, and obscure data in an attempt to hide this fact. Furthermore, he has been proven to cheat and cut along courses. One must then wonder further if he uses performance-enhancing drugs. Nevertheless, owing to his past duplicity and propensity to fake his achievements, the onus has shifted and now is on him to prove he does not. Certainly, a man with his unique world-class physical capability should be able and eager to make another summit attempt, with proper medical testing and data documentation, to put to rest, this matter once and for all. That his long-time sponsors have dropped him in 2020, speaks volumes. That he has not done this, when all it would have cost him is some time, also speaks volumes.
How much of an outlier is that sentiment?
