Alot of people had written Kipsang off after a 5th place at London last spring but he brought it yesterday to Berlin, setting a personal best and running the 4th fastest marathon ever on a record eligible course.
Bekele's perfromance was ridiculous but let us applaud the man who made Bekele work for it.
Kipsang has now gone sub- 2:05 six years in a row- it is a crime he wasnt in Rio, Can you imagine if both he and Bekele had run?- it would have been an epic race with Kipchoge , while Mr Rupp would have been 5th IMO
