I hope some of you guys took Kosgei at 6/1, the best you can get now is 7/2.
Kipchoge spotted out on an easy run in London yesterday, wearing the new Nike xext% of course.

I’ll say Kipchoge remains dominant and runs the 2nd fastest time ever; Abraham Kiptum runs sub-2:04 and places top-3; Farah looks like a douche at some point in the race.
Man, I already blew it. I should’ve known Mo would look like a douche well before the race began.

This is hard to predict.
We might just be in for a total shock in both events.

Kipchoge in mid to high 2:02.
2 or 3 of the Africans ahead of Mo.
Mo runs in the 2:03:30-2:04:30 range.
Top 5 to 8 under 2:05.

For Kosgei to win, I think she needs to break it open at mile 11 or 12 because at the metaphorical turn, if keitany is still fresh and you are still within sight; her NY second half says she will still win.

Eliud will win in 2:03 mid to 2:03 low. Farah will set the Euro record in either 2nd or 3rd. I'll go out on a limb and predict Kosgei upsets Keitany on the women's side.

Way too optimistic, but I still think Kosgei will run 2:16 maybe in Berlin, at least I had the Mens Winner and time right (Close) and the top 2 Women, and I predicted a low 2:24 for Diver. And by the way Farah is still the European Record Holder in the 1500, 10000 and Marathon.

My rankings would be the following :
***** Eliud Kipchoge
**** Mo Farah,Shura Kitata
*** Mosinet Geremew,Abraham Kiptum
** Leul Gebrselassie,Mule Wasihun
* Daniel Wanjiru,Wilson Kipsang,Tamirat Tola
OUT Abdi Bashir,Callum Hawkins
I would upgrade Abdi Bashir and downgrade Kipsang or Tola due to recent races, but Abdi hasn't proven at the full distance yet, but it could be his breakthrough race. I can see him run 2:07-2:08 even if he goes out with the leaders.
***** Mary Keitany
**** Brigid Kosgei,Vivian Cheruiyot
*** Gladys Cherono,Roza Dereje
** Tadelech Bekele,Linet Masai
* Haftamnesh Tesfay,Molly Huddle
OUT Emily Sisson,Charlotte Purdue,Lily Partridge
For me Brigid Kosgei is the most improved female runner of the season (alongside Ruth Chepngetich who is not here). She will be very tough to beat and will run fearlessly. However, Keitany's experience might prove decisive(if she's in great shape, otherwise it's a no contest).
