The 2024 Olympic Marathon || Eliud Kipchoge VS. Kenenisa Bekele - Paris Olympics

[@BirukAsta]

Kenenisa Bekele finished 39th at the age 42 respect for all of those heros and those who participated🇪🇹🏅🇪🇹🏅🇪🇹🏅🇪🇹🏅🇪🇹🏅🇪🇹🏅.

This was such a tear-dropping race, watching Eliud Kipchoge walk, ... And kenenisa Bekele way behind.. Was just too much for me, anyway congrats to Tamirat Tola and Abdi Bashir, well deserved... Waiting for next video on this channel to narrate and defend this situation

I think kiptum might have had one of the greatest careers of all time. Rip

[@Celebio_KM]

People like bekele, Farah were very fast in their careers. However, fast runners may not last long because they are pron to enjuries. For example cheptegeibis declining, Elaine and her counterpart from Jamaica also are facing difficults.

[@joelmacinnes2391]

​@Celebio_KM cheptegei just won gold in the 10000, what fo you mean he's declining? Regardless breaking the 2hr barrier would automatically make your career one of the greatest of all time, even if you only ran 5 races

[@Celebio_KM]

@@joelmacinnes2391 at his his best, he wouldn't have withdrawn from the 5k. At his prime. He lost several races prior to Olympics. They are good but they push their bodies to the extreme limits .

[@alexanderwhyte5316]

Cheptegei just set the Olympic record for the 10km lol I do sort of agree with you though. A lot of runners across all distances do set their pbs in their early to mid 20s. At 27 I'd say cheptegei is unlikely to break his 5 or 10 km records. He's still not that far off his top level though.

[@crendler9912]

Kiptum would have destroyed everyone

[@suhaasvemuri7980]

[@T1MB05L1C3]

With due respects to both Kipchoge and Bekele... I don't think either will medal. That said, if they continue running, I have no doubt they'll rewrite the masters record books.

[@GNP999]

Sadly, I agree with you. These 2 icons are just too past their respective primes. The weather may be ok, but the course is brutal. Crazy elevation gains. Good luck to both

[@gashyrawr]

It was pretty much a farewell run of those two. BTW it was really cool to see three legends together in the same place/event, Kipchoge, Bekele but also Gebrselassie on location! (who better than him to do the intro ceremony of the marathon)

[@irah866]

I'm WAITING for this since the start of Olympics 2024 !

[@odumfrancis2157]

This is going to be so good - LEGENDARY STUFF!

[@iamfelini]

It's really sad that Kipchoge did not finish in the olympic marathon in Paris :( For me, it would have been a great moment and a succes to see him finish the race, even in last place. It looked like he had problems with his hips. Anyways, I hope we'll see him run again, and at least finish a marathon! Would be a very sad retirement otherwise... I'm very pleased about Bekele finishing the marathon in the 39/81. He is 42 years old, and still able to compete on the very elite level! I think that both Kipchoge and Bekele would have been able to compete better on a flat course, but it is what it is :p Huge respect for all of the competitors, and especially congrats to Tola, Abdi and Kipruto. And I'm also very impressed by Akasaki, who came in in 6. place! It was an incredible marathon, the crowd was crazy, as well as the difficulty of the course! I wish all the competitors the best and still hope to see Bekele and Kipochge run a few more marathons, even if they probably won't be able to get to the podium.

[@kr11y]

Knew Tola would win after the New York Marathon performance. He seems to be a beast in a hilly course.

[@user-Simon1957]

Bekele or Kipchoge didn’t win, but to see them run and know what they “feel” (YOU MUST HAVE RUN THE 42Kilometer yourself for this) in their body. That is great already. This two BIG ONES in running, is beter to watch than any football match.

[@ligidobastian9245]

Kiptum would win the gold if he still around. RIP

[@PresidentMedici]

Congrats to Tola of Ethiopia, new Olympic record 🎉😮

[@wilhelmw3455]

I will be pleased to see either one of these two greats win any medal even if it isn’t the gold.

Sad that it ended with Bekele way down the field, and a Kipchoge DNF - gutting. But to take nothing away from these two, they are already legends. It looked a hilly course and heat conditions made for younger men, and so it proved. Congrats Tamirat Tola, incredible performance.

I concur that the two are stellar runners , yet Haile G.Silassie is unparalleled legend.

[@littledarkone1995]

The old head in me wants to see an epic Bekele vs Kipchoge duel that matches the insanity of what has been this Olympic Games (which has been nothing short of incredible) for the gold but if I’m a betting man, I factor in Kipchoge hasn’t run well on hilly courses and also Bekele isn’t the same guy that bounced back in 2019 to run 2:01:41. He’s run 2:04 low twice this year which is amazing for his age but he’s not the guy anymore. I’d probably have to go with Tola or Kipruto, as much as I don’t want to say that. I would love to see Bekele have the ultimate comeback and win that marathon gold and I would also love to see Kipchoge be the first to win 3 Olympic marathon gold medals (consecutively). But I just don’t think it’ll happen. I hope the running gods prove me wrong. I hope we get the showdown us running nerds always dreamed.

[@gmafwolo]

You actually predicted right. Too bad for Kipchoge, but he had his era, will go down in history as one of the best and his record has not been broken yet. Bekele tried his best the time is still good, still inspirational at his age. Congratulations to Tola and Kipruto.

[@empiretvgh]

I guess this marathon take something like 2:06:30 os time. Probably Benson Kipruto get the gold medal. And Kenenisa Bekele wins over Kipchoge. All those things comes to that. But all of this it's just a bet, along the way anything can happening...

[@thebullfighter6733]

Want to know where all the people who tried to tell me I didn’t know what I was talking about when I said that Kipchoge wouldn’t run well in France are? He can’t run in bad conditions (heat was a factor) and can’t run on elevation. All of his losses in the last few years have come over hills and unfavourable conditions and today was no exception. Since 2016 kipchoge has only run well on virtually flat courses. He’s the goat there is no debate there, but he’s old and this was another example of his age hindering his versatilely.

[@Mongkol_Thirakot]

They're all hiding behind their screens

I couldn't agree more. I wish people would stop saying that if kiptum was here, Tola wouldn't have won. It's annoying

[@Mongkol_Thirakot]

It is annoying because it's true 🤷‍♂️

[@kylestephens9593]

goat, but only runs well when the weather is perfect and it's flat. okey

[@thebullfighter6733]

@@kylestephens9593 he’s run well in the past in bad conditions and over elevation but not in the last 6-8 years. All his wins since 2017 are Tokyo 1, London 2, Berlin 4 times all with elevation under 140m (so very flat). His losses are London bad weather, Boston elevation and bad weather and Tokyo (bad marathon). Recently he hasn’t done well if it’s not flat Berlin. He’s a technical runner who thrives on rhythm. Hard to do that when you’re older and on hills. This 6-7 year track record and the style of course Paris was made it clear the course wouldn’t play to his strengths and they didn’t.
