I couldn't be a bigger Haile fan. Kicking back and having a few beers while I watch the live feed. It would be awesome just to see him make another Olympic team
You could be a bigger Haile fan if you put on some weight

Mekonnen leads w/Haile on his heels at 28k. -- According to Japanese Running News. Go Geb!!!
Looks like they are running side by side on tv.
It's looking like Geb may negative split here and run 2:05 low or under 2:05. I hope the old man pulls it off.
Since Geb will be 40 next year what is the master's marathon record? I'm guessing that's about to be completely shattered forever.
geb- needs to push 35-40

I think 2:08:xx. Espinoza from Mexico?
Yeah, looks like he is 2:05:20 pace or close to it. That should get him on the team!

Please keep giving splits and how he is doing. I want to see that old man in the Olympics.

Arata Fujiwara leading JPN men running on his own about 1 min behind leaders
Geb's 38 now - won't be 40 until next April.
(well - officially anyhow.)
It wouldn't be too bad if they showed the leaders every 10 or 15 minutes on this channel
the guy is >40 already

Yuki's running on his own! It's hard to tell with this stream whether he's out front of the main pack of Japanese or trailing. Ah well, he looks tough regardless.
At 28k Kawauchi was about 50 seconds behind the Japanese group.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm guessing though that Geb may retire before then but I hope not.
Here we go Geb! still right there sharing the lead
How much more do Geb and Mekonnen have?

Geb's over 50.
They're coming up to 35km soon
They've slowed a lot.
