Al Trautwig announced on broadcast that Edna Kiplagat ran 4:50 for the uphill 20th mile. The split in the press room was given as 5:01. I'm inclined to believe the latter. Most men would have trouble running that mile in 4:50.
But what is not in doubt is Kiplagat is destroying the field right now. Her lead is 12 seconds at last count and growing. Hasay in 3rd.
That split had to be suicide. So glad Hasay didn't go with. Not that she physically would be able to, but still.

Mile 18: 5:29 (1:39:13) It’s Kiplagat and Chelimo leading, Hasay and CHerono tucked in behind and Kipketer, who was dropped earlier, just hanging on at the back. Linden is 10 seconds back.
30K: 1:42:40 (16:50) Linden 9 seconds off lead pack of five.
Mile 19: 5:22 (1:44:35) Kiplagat has taken off during mile 20 No one can answer. Chelimo second, Hasay third and Cherono 4th as they’re all strining out with gaps between each of them. Leaders totally strung out within a matter of minutes as she is finishing off Newton Hills.
1:45:50 Edna Kiplagat goes to the lead….
Mile 20: 5:01 (1:49:37) for Kiplagat UPHILL. Kiplagat’s lead is 12 seconds. What a move.
Rupp is winning!!!
He's only got a small Nike tick on that vest which implies no sponsorship!

Was wondering the same. Luke, Ward, and Meb are listed at #14, #15, #17... so must all be hanging somewhere in the trailing pack. Looks like no DNFs yet.
Of course she's on EPO! Wake up Rojo! Don't you regularly talk to elite runners? It's not really a secret...
rupp looks like a pale giant among pygmies
Edna glancing back. This isn't over.

I can't decide if Rupp has enough experience at this distance to trust that he's making a good move here.
Like how they just said this will be a PR for Galen because it's his first marathon. Or he won an Olympic medal in the marathon...
Just pasted one of the Chinese feed's comments into Google Translator, my favorites are
"Heavy horse!"
"A lot of female players wearing a printed t-shirt"
"Marathon grand slam tournament!"
"It is difficult to experience the domestic people who run for charity"
I love China.
Still 7-8 guys in lead back, 2 other goes just off the back. Lemi, Chebbi Kirui, Rupp, Osako Mutai, Abdai

Probably wondering when she can back off so she doesn't go into a melt down...
Jordan Hasay has the heart of a lion!
Who did the men just pass ?
I saw one woman who was an elite woman get passed then another woman with frizzy blond hair that could not have been elite I don't think
No, she doesn't look good. Looks like she decided to break up an obviously very strong field, but it may be a gamble. If she's challenged at the end she may not be able to respond.
The female "elite" the men just blew by was in a death shuffle. Was that a CPTC singlet?
