How Bottle Claus helped Eliud Kipchoge break the world record

[@mcomeros]

we all need a bottle claus in our lives.

[@Menstral]

They used to be called 'good wives', or if you're lucky you called them 'mom'

[@Live-Life-Freely]

No we don't, however, nothing is stopping you from becoming somene's bottle Claus.

[@Bluesvxbe]

I would really want that too

[@sdtok527]

That also means we all should strive to be a bottle clause for someone else

[@michael46]

ABSOLUTELY! We need a bottle Claus in our lives!

[@freeridefried]

Claus-Henning was an outstanding triathlete himself. As an amateur, he qualified frequently for the Ironman Hawaii which is the world championship of long distance triathlon. And that’s where his dedication comes from. Much respect ✊

Bottle Claus - super sympathischer Typ, mittlerweile schon seit Jahrzehnten im freiwilligen Helferteam des Berlin-Marathons dabei. Klasse, dass Eliud ihn am nächsten Tag zu sich ins Hotel holt!

[@BestNameInTheWholeWorld]

Stimmt 'Bottle Claus' passt viel besser ansonsten wäre 'Flaschen Claus' zu ihm sehr persönlich gewesen

letzter Satz klingt komisch 😐

[@Van-tastic]

I’ve run two marathons and my wife was my Bottle Claus on both of them. I know I would never have achieved a third in my class if it weren’t for her!

[@v1v1dpoker]

Wow Claus amazing work, what a tremendous spirit and Kipchoge so gracious and humble, love it!

[@J.e.f.f.r.e.y]

You can see his positive energy was being given to Eliud every time he passed the bottle and Eliud noticed and said it helped him win and he wanted him on his team. It doesn’t matter who you are you can make a great difference in this world and it will be noticed.

[@dbiscoc287]

Eliud is such a class act! Sport needs more guys like him and Federer.

[@dbiscoc287]

I was not comparing them. I simply expressed they both exhibit sportsmanship. Nothing more.

@@dbiscoc287 I got you loud and clear. Your comparisons make sense because these are two men who are both considered to be at the top of their specific sport specialties. I don't know why some people read too much into statements to lift out what isn't there to be lifted out.

[@cyronsoyza2041]

Eliud is such a humble champion. I think he said it best when he said his greatest happiness is when he learns he had inspired others. He has done that and much more..... and bottle Claus exemplifies how we can take such a task and make it awesome!

[@MrSlaidback]

Every time you feel sad about humanity, come back and watch this. The fact he used him again, this year is great.

[@poetinhybernation]

That's pure passion personified. As a traditional carpenter and designer, I always tell my crew that there is no small work, no small role, and no small task. Everything is equally valuable. Greatness comes with attention to detail. Claus-Henning is an epitome of greatness. An inspiration.

[@jennabee2133]

I watch clips of this marathon all the time when on the treadmill and the "enthusiastic bottle guy" is in a lot of them. I always smile at his enthusiasm and wonder about him. Well, now I know! He's everything I hoped he would be - seems like an awesome person

[@adnansteady1259]

The respect given by the runner was tremendous!

[@letsrunthis3824]

I love this! My biggest lesson from this is do everything with excellence no matter how small the task may seem and celebrate those achievements. Well done Clause, you legend.👏🙌

[@cptairwolf]

Lol this guy celebrates handing a water bottle with an intensity I need in my life.

[@jollyroger1009]

I think the only other person who understands what's going on in a Kipchoge world record attempt as well as Kipchoge himself is Klaus. I really respect Klaus a lot, what a positive, committed guy.
