There are rumours that EK and Nike agreed for a second and last attempt to break the 2 hour mark. It's supposed to take place in April, again in Monza. Do you think it will really happen? If yes, will they do it?

If it happens, I believe Kipchoge will do it.
I wonder who will they choose to 'compete' against him.
I think this time around they have it in the bag...
No way, he would have to be in 57 half shape to do this. He has no chance.
He missed it by 25 seconds this year. Count in a cooler weather, some perfect pacing and the experience he got after this attempt. He has a great chance.
These things are like circus acts, not reality.
So he will skip London Marathon again? Thought he wanted to have the title under his belt again, weird..
Why not? London isn't the fastest course anyway, he won the title already. I bet he'll get up to 2.000.000$ from Nike for this.
Get Kenenisa Bekele, Wilson Kipsang, and Dennis Kimetto to run with him. Then he'll do it.

You bet he'll get $2 from Nike? That's not exactly a fair deal, or a reason to skip London.
Yes, they employee a Tesla with an even bigger clock.
So when is Adidas having a go? Berlin?

You're thinking of magic acts. The circus is real.

I know you're a troll but just so you know, many other countries use the period as a number separator than a comma. The more you know.
If he tried again, he would fail again and by a larger amount of time. He'll be about 50 years old by 2018.

That's what old man strength is for.
They haven't released a date or anything specifically. I think they are under pressure, mostly because they haven't got anyone be able to even come close to it...
I really don't think he is older than 33.
