So Lemi Berhanu Hayle can possibly tie with Kipchoge for the WMM jackpot this season.
If he wins, they split the prize... -
I distinctly remember Meb saying after he finished the NYC marathon this year, that this (NYC) was his "last competitive marathon"
-
Meb didn't run NYC this year.
-
Yawn. Wake me up when the London field is announced.
-
Meb will run Boston and then NY next year. NY2017 will be his 26th and last competitive marathon.
-
I think the rules say that if they tie the WMM judges their strength of wins/points, and can let them tie and split it, or decide on one winner.
I'd think Kipchoge would be chosen as the winner.
