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...

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.

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.
