Dnf. Bekele's performance will haunt him
Although, Bekele has had and amazing the career and quite possibly the greatest overall distance runner that has ever lived, it is doubtful that he will have the opportunity to duplicate or improve on his Berlin performance. His marathon career has been too hit or miss.
He has only won 2 marathon majors - both Berlin, both the years the Kipchoge didn't run.
At the risk of being detrimental to conversation...
I really don't think anyone can seriously say this about Bekele anymore after Berlin.
We heard exactly this so often after 2016 Berlin and look what happened. Sky's the limit for these truly exceptional athletes, Kipchoge included.
