You are only calling it so you look like a damn genius if by the slimmest of chances it happens. Virtually everyone knows that this is the moment Kipchoge shatters the WR and cements himself as the GOAT truly (not that he hadn't already).

Plus, he is engraved on this year's Berlin medals. It'd be sweet if tomorrow was his day to break the WR, too...
Didn't know this about the Berlin medals. Looks like they honor an elite runner every year according to Google images. Isn't it strange to win a medal with an image of your competitor? I would understand if it was an image of a past great like NYC did with Greta Waitz, if I remember correctly.
Good weather and decent pacing equals Kipchoge win and likely WR. I hope he does it.
Good call.

Don't give up the day job
I hope you clipped your toenails before eating that foot.
Performances don't lie. Kipsang didn't look good out there. 2:05 is way off his usual 2:03 time.
He had a great run, but at the age of 36 I think he might be done, especially for fast courses.

Like you called today's race? Hahahahahahahahaha!!! YOU are as good as the psychic network, or Rasputin for that matter. How's your mom's basement today? Cold and lonely as usual?
You know what it has to be? Maurten, you know the super carbdrink!?? Oh wait Kipchoge drank it and took their gels like every 10 min and completely obliterated the world record. So maybe you can get it through your dense head the fact that all of the worlds greatest marathoners already have, more carbs are a good thing.

That stuff is not good for you, or the stomach. But people are willing to risk it all for success, so go right ahead.
the research has already been done on what the stomach can handle regarding carb/sugar load, and what high sugar intake does to the liver, etc.
maybe kipchoge can handle it, and runners like kipsang cant?
But I will never support that lab crap, no matter if runners run sub 2 hours on it. Even though I feel the reason kipchoge ran fast had nothing to do with his drink, but more about the shoes the way he was popping off the ground, and possibly doping.
runners were breaking records and running fast before that crap...
