Kipchoge goes *KACHING*
This is a 'different' Lelisa, I take my words. He sure is a new man. This is probably his first win in a long time. Congrats to him.
Lelisa wins in 2:06:56
Wow who came up to take 2nd?

Lelisa showboats!
That's what the sport needs . Just before the 2:04 mark he flexed his biceps.
Chumba is dead. I think Lelisa hit 41k at 2:03:10 which means he ran that k (it does have an uphill only at 3:14) and totally dropped Chumba.
Wow. Chumba totally lost it the last km.
Chumba caught on last few strides for second. What a collapse.
lol they going to keep raising the tape for everyone??
That bicep slap was great
19y/o gonna debut under 2:12?? - 2:11:35ish, wow
2:10:57 first Japanese
They have, what 8 guys under 2:13?
Damn, the U.S. sucks.
I finally see a woman. What a disgrace. Over an hour without even a mention.
Helah Kiprop seems to have the women's race down.
Wow! Amharic-speaking Japanese translator. How does that happen?
Helah Kiprop wins her first marathon major in 2:21:27
Edna Kiplagat 2:22:36 for third. Amazing. She's how old now?

36 years 166 days
Waiting to see if they'll have a Swahili-speaking Japanese translator.
With Helah Kiprop's victory, there is a three-way tie atop World Marathon Majors standings -- Kiprop, Mare Dibaba and Mary Keitany. Dibaba beat Kiprop at Worlds but she and Kiprop haven't beaten Keitany. Wonder how they will split it.
