Bruh. How did he pass away?

[@imremonzon2424]

This guy's average marathon time is 2.01.39. That's exactly Kipchoge's 2018 World Record!

[@robinbauer1975]

Man that boy would smoke the WR in good conditions on a flat course like Valencia or Berlin he is the future Interesting what he will produce in Paris 2024

[@stevelau7694]

If he's that close to the WR that was set in Berlin, this kid has possibly already surpassed Eliud Kipchoge in ability right now. Given that he is still improving each year at only 23, he could end up taking the WR in Berlin perhaps surpassing the all time best and getting under 1:59:40 in an actual marathon

[@Ligerpride]

London is quite flat no? Also ideal conditions.

[@ashwinoashwin]

Yes, but berlin is the absolute gold standard for a world record course. I think the last 10 world record was set in berlin dating back to that immortal 2.03.59 by haile gebresilase. Back then, 2.04 was the equivalent of the sub 2 barrier and he broke that in berlin and so many followed post that!

[@robinbauer1975]

@@stevelau7694 totally agree he is also just 23 and that was his second marathon hahahahha he is superior already

[@ploopyschloopy985]

He just died apparently :(

He really gave everything! The difference with Kipchoge is that somehow I always feel like Kipchoge can do another marathon right after 😂

[@ngatak6852]

kipchoge only used 50% of his strength😂😂

[@tabstabs1204]

The comments are so bad. The speakers don't even had a table to see if his position on the route matches the record or not. It was obvious he was going to break the record at 40km but they had no clue.

Perhaps they didn't "feel" metric system so well.

[@iskandera1783]

Superb work. Just 18 sec??? For brand new world record

[@Alex-pr6zv]

The commentary could have been better. I mean it's not rocket science. Neither commentator was really aware of what Kelvin Kiptum was doing. He basically missed the world record by a small margin and it only dawned on Pavey & co. after Kiptum had finished. The same with Mo Farah. No mention of him shattering the British over-40 record. Or Chris Thompson doing likewise.

[@ransfordfiti4163]

May your soul rest in peace, Kelvin Kiptum.

[@WKLNETWORK]

His peak will be 1:59:00 within 2 years

[@XxAziCodxX1]

hes averaging 2:1:39 from his first 2 marathons that could be a possibility maybe at the Berlin Marathon which is ones of the fastest course.

Second fastest ever? Are you all just ignoring Kenenisa Bekele???

[@dbranc0]

last sprint 400m in 1min ?!?! ... crazy KELVIN KIPTUM !!!

[@mustafa1name]

KELVIN (feel the heat) put in a massive effort with that astounding sprint at the end. Pity Eurosport couldn't make just a tiny bit of effort to get his name right in the title, but I guess this KZbin uploading is pretty gruelling and they were probably too tired.

[@marathonranati]

[@christianhaugaard5853]

The previous 8 WR´s have all been set in Berlin. Kiptum will make it 9 very soon

[@amitkumar-wj8gn]

To put this time in context, you can consider yourself a good cyclist if you cover this distance (in these conditions) in two hours!! Kiptum is now firmly in Superhero territory.

[@tabstabs1204]

are you kidding ?? I cover that distance in 1H20' in a triathlon and I am average cyclist. A good one will do it in 1H. A pro will need 50' or less.

Kipchoge Olympic gold will be over in 2024

[@joelmacinnes2391]

He finishes on 2.01.26 but the official time was 2.01.25, was that because the idiot on the last corner made him take the corner wide by directing him the wrong way?

Hes good. But I personally think Kipchoges running form is better and solid.
