The last of the Big 3 is done.
My thoughts exactly... Makes you wonder what could have been if he didn't so stubbornly stick with the marathon since 2008.

I won't say so, but he needs to work on his pacing/judgment.
Kipyego at 19 seconds ahead of Huddle at mile 24, matching each other with a 5:44 mile.
Desis running 6:30 pace. Abdi leading the charge into 3rd soon.
by big 3 you mean Meb, Culpepper and Abdi, right? Because Abdi is still going strong, as of today.
kidding. but kind of crazy to think that the original big 3 minus Culpepper have outlasted Webb, Hall and Ritz...
Desisa OUT!
Abdi in 3rd

Anyone else think Keitany's arm swing is inefficient? I mean, her hands fly halfway up her face on each swing.
No you're the only one dumb enough to think that.
2nd group is strung out. Abdi, then Biwott, then Kipsirio then Yamamoto
Abdi was agressive early. If he's going to pay for it, it will be these last few miles. Biwott is running the race of his career.

You haven't watched many marathons, have you?
Where is Lelisa? :)

There is a nice 4 way battle for 3-4-5-6 - with two AMeroicans - now that Desisa is a DNF.
Mile 22
1 Ghirmay Ghebreslassie ERI 1:46:33 4:53
2 Lucas Rotich KEN 1:46:55 4:58
3 Abdi Abdirahman USA 1:49:51 5:01
4 Shadrack Biwott USA 1:49:51 5:01
5 Moses Kipsiro UGA 1:49:52 5:02
6 Hiroyuki Yamamoto JPN 1:49:52 5:02
7 Tadesse Yae Dabi ETH 1:50:09 5:20
Kipyego through 40k 19 seconds ahead of Huddle. Huddle Will catch Chepkirui, and can see her now, but would need something huge over 2.2k to get third.
That wave by G-Heb is going down as iconic. Youthful confidence as he takes over.
Molly 7 secs to the third place!

Cheers. I owe you a beer.
Huddle 17 seconds behind Kipyego with 1.2 miles to go. 7 seconds behind Chepkirui, but can see her
Shadrack vs Abdi...who's it gonna be? Abdi will have less footspeed, which he knows, so I'm sure he will kick early. Biwott isn't that experienced so he may let that early move beat him.
I'll go with Biwott
Ritz is so good at 5k-10k-half marathon, but marathon has never been his thing. I wish he'd given up on it a long time ago
