How many Japanese guys are going to finish under 2:10? This is impressive.
Holy cow the Japanese are going to have more sub 209 in one race than the US has ever!
no phone
looks like only 7 people get to break the tape
Was he wearing VF in Berlin too?

Great run by Shitara
This run by the Japanese puts Japan ahead of the entirety of US marathoners (unless you want to start the argument about Rupp having an olympic medal, but for all intensive purposes let’s go off of time) in a SINGLE RACE. And plus they have Suguru Osako.
Inoue 2:06:54 for 5th!!! Two Japanese men in the top 5
9 Japanese men under 2:10...where would Guppy place?
9 Japanese under 2:09- Americans take notes
pretty sick of Americans running Boston and Chicago every year and not heading to Berlin, London, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Paris, Rotterdam etc...
Take a shot at a fast time. Japanese runners were inspiring today. Even last year when Shitara went out at WR pace and fell off, you gotta respect it.

Well, to be honest Rupp would have won or been right behind Chumba. Fact. :D
Why aren't there more Japanese runners in the NCAA? T
Japan is with it.
Great for their morale.

2:09.20 Rupp would be out of the top 10. Not giving any consideration to LRC's imaginary 2:05 Rupp.

Kipsang definitely off the back. All that talk of a WR seems a bit silly.
Talk of breaking a WR is always silly. Always. But it got your attention and mine. Still, it's a WORLD record. It's not a PR or a course record. Everything has to line up and rarely does. But the talk gets eyeballs, attention. Beyond that no value, and always silly. To me it shows a certain disrespect for what a WR is.
Japan > USA
Yeah reason is those suckers train kind of like Rodgers used to. Massive mileage.
Simon Kariuki comes in at about 2:10
That guy needs to stop saying Ch-uh-mbah.
what are they doing that we aren't? besides weighing 105lbs
