First I would like to congratulate G.O.A.T Haile Geb. for setting the marathon world record of 2:04.26 in the Real-Berlin Marathon on September 20th 2007.
As world records are meant to be broken, it is a matter of months if not days before another Kenyan (not Paul Tergat) breaks the marathon world record.
My Prediction - less than 1 year before the WR is reset again by some Kenyan.
Congrats Haile, but you wont have own the world record for as long as Paul Tergat did. God job nevertheless Haile - Greatest of All Times.
