[@wycliffatambo3614]

Rooting for my country man Kipchoge to win this event; thanks Bekele for participating in this for without your presence the result would have been automatic....greatest showdown coming up.

[@JohnDoe-xk1dv]

If finally we get the contest between both of them at peak fitness, no injuries - this will be a blinder. CORRECTION - Bekele injured, contest now off :( All being well, if Bekele could have maintained pace with Kipchoge across the race, he could have taken it in the last few kilometers. But keeping up with Kipchoge's consistency is the key, huge challenge. Really hoped this might have been a photo finish - but to no avail. Hopefully next year then...

[@lachlanbarnes3605]

I believe this marathon is particularly interesting, mostly because of one important detail: it merges both track racing (Bekele's territory) and marathon racing (Eliud's territory). This race is an incredibly delicate (and rare) combination of their respective disciplines. Although, consistency favours Eliud far greater, whereas Bekele's victories in the marathon are quite serendipitous.

[@simonferrier-may710]

Finally... the showdown between the two fastest marathoners of all all, when both are free of injury and have managed to complete full training schedule! :D I can't help but feel that Kene B will take it, but it will take a WR to do it.

[@Kipchoge475]

You might be right, Eliud's not gonna back down on this one, given the stakes and also how he is as an elite competitor. based on past experiences, it's sensible to bet on Eliud, but Bekele's an unpredictable one.i wouldn't completely rule out an upset too.but for now, he's the underdog;kind of.

[@jesusa1328]

I agree, unless bekele suffers some sort of injury before or during the race then I think he will win.

[@erickhan6349]

Jesus A If the pace is a little slow Bekele will be a really fast finisher I know Kipchoge is driven but I feel knowing Bekele's track history he will go sicko mode

If its close in the last 1/2km. I gotta give it to bekele due to his superior track record and closing speed. If Kipchoge gets ahead and seeing Bekele fighting to keep up, he will win. Either way, this is going to be the best 2 hours and 1 minute of running we have all year.

[@leaharusei5131]

We are waiting you guys, success Africa 💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JayB2]

It's actually a straight forward strategy for Bekele. Let Kipchoge set the pace & follow him. If Kipchoge speeds up Bekele needs to speed up. If Bekele is with Kipchoge within the last 2 km its Bekeles race hands down. I just hope he comes into this race at 100%!

[@willydevine9553]

Jay B people forget the kipchoge has a kick he just never needs it because he’s so far ahead. Remember 2003 he out kicked bekele and el guerrouj

[@JayB2]

@@willydevine9553 True, but Bekele is known for his kick. That's why he has so many 5k & 10k wins. He has one of the best kicks in long distance running.
