do the kipchoge sub 2 deniers also deny Roger Bannister as first sub 4?

Did Bannister have an electric pace car in front of him with a green line to follow?

No.

I only accept records recorded in non spring loaded shoes.

What does electric have to do with it?

Do you Kipchoge sub 2 hour deniers also deny Roger Bannister as the first man sub 4? If so, you are WRONG and history will always reflect Kipchoge as the first sub 2 hour man, and Roger as the first sub 4.

Bannister ran in a sanctioned track and field meeting; he was paced by two club mates up to the 3/4 mile and then he took the lead ..not like Kipchoge who was surrounded by different pacers for up to 41.6km ... Maybe Kipchoge could’ve run solo for the last 10.5km to actually claim his sub 2..?!

FYI- Bannister had pacers and one of them stayed back and was lapped to help pull Bannister along.

Lots of haters here but the fact remains KIPCHOGE cemented his place in HUMAN HISTORY AND ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT!

Pretty awesome Kipchoge had world class runners as rabbits- Lagat, Lomong, Chelimo, Ingebritsen.

That laser looked cool too.

Not true ... name this laggard pacer..? Didn’t happen..facts matter.

The drafting issue is too big of a factor, without it no chance.

This is a farce.

Sure, it was that famous H. G. Wells character The Invisible Man, who jumped in right before Chataway dropped off.

Were there are competitors in Kipchoge's race or was he alone paced? Did Bannister have other competitors in his race?

And why does it matter that the line was green? Would it have been better if it was a red line?

I just watched the race and went through that section several times. There was a group of three runners together from the start. Then the guy in third passed Bannister and went with him until the final lap.

People who make this argument simply do not understand the rules. Bannister had pacers. Kipchoge had a wall of people switching in and out throughout the race, not pacers.

Kipchoge ran sub 2 for the marathon distance.

Kipchoge did not run a sub 2 hour marathon.

You just know it was them, their parents or grandparents who lost their ish when Bob Dylan pulled out that electric guitar ? ?

Your eyes weren't trickin' you. I just posted the video to bust LivefromMomsbasement, who made the spurious claim that Bannister had a fresh pacer assist him late in the race.

No records have been set in spring loaded shoes.

Do you believe that everyone who disagrees with you hates Kipchoge? I am amazed at the ease with which the charge of hatred is made these days. Those opposed to ILLEGAL immigration are decried as "xenophobes," those opposed to race-based and sex-based "Affirmative Action" are decried as "racists" and "sexists" and "haters," and those opposed to allowing Bruce Jenner to use a women's locker room or bathroom are decried as "haters" or "transphobes."

Following your logic, Bannister used spikes. If he used normal running shoes he would have never broken 4.
