Berlin Marathon 2017 Final Line-up

Jeez people here lol

It'll come down to bekele and Kipchoge over the last 5k, Bekele just needs to stay with Kipchoge and I think he can do that

He's had a few times now of letting people get away, came back in Berlin last year wasn't quite able to in London, but I think those experiences will help him to be more ready for this race.

Rupp would have broken the 2 hour barrier

Easy work

Kipchoge wins, DNF for Bekele and Kipsang in 2nd. Winning time is 2:04:43.

I hope Bekele makes it till the end- this would be the greatest marathon ever. And look at the difference between this event and all those crappy track events of Farah. Unlike Farah's track races, here you have three champions running both for the win and both for the WR ( to all those bullshiter& who said Farah chose wins instead of records, as though you can't have em both)

U sick bas*tard what Mo Farah got to do with this Marathon ??

Like the man said seek help ASAP

I don't think Bekele would join the race now against Kipchoge and Kipsang if he wasn't really confident in his training as well.

It's Mohamed to you, sir. Take heed.

Kipchoge is getting his second marathon loss. Kenenisa is gonna crush it.

You can have them both in the short term, but can you have them both in every World Championships and Olympics over an extended period of time?

The level of disrespect against Bekele in this thread is unacceptable. Kenenisa knows how to play his tactics, and how to manage his image. He will not allow himself to lose to Kipchoge again. Bekele always gets the last laugh. Bekele for the win in 2:02.

Not saying you're wrong, in fact you could be correct. But such bold predictions deserve at least a registered name.

Bekele for the win in 2:02:47. No registered name needed.

Reported to UK law enforcement for racial insensitivity.

Why wouldn't you be able to have both in the long term?

Easy for you to hide and post under a different handle after 35K then. Which, in case you don't know, is when I expect Eliud to lay the hammer and drop both challengers.

I think the sheer fast pace will be enough for Kipchoge to drop both Bekele and Kipsang. He is not going to let the wr slip out of his hands. He will do anything necessary to achieve that goal. Kipsang and Bekele at 35 years of age can't go 61 61, they will feel it sooner or later. Kipchoge for the win by at least a minute !

We need Mr. Renato Canova's insight here.

Please!!!

I too think this could be a quick one. The three of them are probably interested in a WR. And if Kenenisa is still in the lead group with a couple of kilometres to go, I don't think the other/others will want to leave it to a kick.

I hope they all show up in great shape.

I think that he is in shape, he missed out on the World Champs and hasn't raced since London so has had ages to prepare, additionally Kipchoge announced Berlin at the same time Bekele pulled out of Worlds so I'm sure he has been preparing for this.

Farah will probably never have anything to do with the marathon. In general.

Did you ever say "this will be a race not to miss!" About any of Farah's track races? Don't answer, we already know.

His first WC win in 2011 (and the loss), and both of his London 2012 races were amazing moments. After that it became 😴😴😴
