Last year they took him through in 62:45 without a problem. Probably the same this year.

no record 2:07
Any webcast available?
Just bumping up my thread again........
The weather forecast says a mostly cloudy day and 16 degrees for the big race. Good conditions for a record attempt. Certainly don't want it any warmer.
What time does the race start in Berlin on Sunday?
My prediction (more what I hope for)? Haile Gebrselassie first in 2:04.54. Now that would be something.
WR pace till 35k then it gets hinky. Haile 2:05:45-2:06:00
I think if Geb has the weather and everything is clicking in Berlin, he'll go ahead and get the WR... but not by much. After all, he has already announced that he is planning to run the Dubai Marathon in January 2008 and there is a million dollar bonus for a new WR there.
any way to watch or listen online to the berlin marathon from the U.S.?????/
I doubt that Haile could break it in Dubai. Wouldn't it be too hot?
right, will probably be too cold for him DNF for me, unless he's short of money, then 2.08
The countdown is on.
See the bottom of this article for the list of elite entrants.
In the women's race, Gete Wami is like Haile trying to win for the second straight year. Because she is trying to win the World Marathon Majors series she is also racing the New York Marathon. This is raced only five weeks after Berlin. To me this is crazy. Does anyone else know of an elite runner racing two marathons so close together? If so, any that have been successful in both?
If it is going to happen this is His best Shot.
Running sub 2:05 is a huge ask even for the best.
This is the Day we find out how good Tergat's record really is.

He ran 2:05 last year in a bad wind with bad pacing, I say he gets the WR this time out. I sure hope he does so we can see the430miler and his response.
