WILSON KIPSANG 2:03:23!

yes!!

And he beat his time that he ran in practice.

First Mzungo, Dos Santos, six minutes behind. This is a perfect example of why USA 'elite' are an after thought with international competition.

God Bless Meb, but even in his younger days, he'd be a zip code behind.

I like Wilson kipsang a lot more than mo farah

I thought we weren't going to see times like these any more due to the passport etc?

Aren't you going to accuse him of taking PEDs like you do with every other dominating runner? ;)

No, but he did false start.

nope.

What impresses me most is how relaxed Kipsang looks at that pace. He is very economical.

"Who" exactly my point. Rodgers, Shorter, Benoit are still more recognized than anyone today including Meb, Denna and Hall.

Great run by Kipsang. Makes him the third fastest marathoner in history.

Hmmm, so it seems the top Africans are faster than the top Americans? Brilliant insight, can you elaborate on any more of your recent discoveries?

It looked like he was beat at the line by some unknown runner. Not sure how Kipsang gets the world record.

Lol!

If there is any satisfaction derived from breaking the tape at the finish line, and I believe that there is, then, Kipsang had it taken away from him by an idiot. He did not experience it.

Congratulations to Wilson Kipsang for his 2:03:23 new world record in the marathon!
