Benson Kiprouto won Boston 2 years in a row and New York City Marathon too. He is well known in the US and around marathon runners.

[@gear7715]

so this is Benson Kiprouto time?

[@walterbortz355]

Not at all surprised to see these results. Kipruto just beat Kipchoge in Boston- why wouldn’t he beat him again? Kipchoge is the GOAT but to think that he can maintain his supremacy indefinitely is totally unrealistic. There are now a whole bunch of young hungry runners coming up who are just faster. Good for Kipchoge for finishing. He is a true role model for the sport.

[@evona9747]

kipchoge does not think he can maintain his supremacy and he is not unrealistic, what makes him great is his humility. from a man who started with nothing , being raised with a single mum and running to school , he knows what it is to have little and he is not afraid, neither unrealistic to know what it is to loose or have little. He is is a man not afraid to pass on the baton , and thanks to him the dream is ali e for many African runners just like the late Kiptum. 24 years who died in a car accident.

[@harrisonmarira2062]

He has been the inspiration to the young men so it's not that he is losing. These guys owe it to him it's their turn n he can retire on a high note

Sad that there are people here who praise someone at there best and when one is at there lowest , or does not win then all the praises go out the window, Sad. But Kipchoge we Kenyans will stand with him i his gains and losses. A humble man who stands at the finish line cheering his competition, he has inspired many across the globe, whether he ages or looses, the man has made his mark in history and no human being can take it from him.

[@mdemarteau7693]

Benson Kipruto is not that unknown before this race he had won 2 major marathons. They started of fast but Eliud is getting older and with age you also get more little pains. The marathon is unpredictable and I would not be surprised if Eliud experienced some kind of discomfort and with age this is likely to happen more often.

[@jorge-mendes]

The 1st 5km in tokio is negative gradient, and in my opinion, kipchoge used this marathon has a training session before the Olympics. It's sad to see that most of the people talk about kipchoge staying behind, and Benson victory and a new tokio marathon record is not the big news... So, go Benson, go!!! Great work from this runner.

Passing of the torch, nobody has dominated the marathon like kipchoge has, but now he’s no longer even top 3 In the world based on his average last 3 marathon times. He ran higher than the Olympic standard in Boston and finished 10th in Tokyo. He’s averaging almost 2:06 per marathon right now and has lost 2 of his last 3. Father Time struggled with him, but will always be victorious.

Kipchoge cant win forever, hes Been the GOAT. He has history ( 1:59) he has inspired , changed lives, hes the man we look upto . Hes almost 40 years old , 5th November 84. This is just A scene of Eliud , having no choice, but to bow to life, and the new talent. Eliud can now only win if he goes by the perfect pacing book..... He needs to ignore packs going off too fast, he MUST play hes own game, as if he us doing this SOLO! He can still win these top marathons, if only , he gas faith in himself, in hes Training and knowing he still has what it takes. These runners tricked him , hes not used to that style of running, all out at the start! He is the best, But age has caught up now, he only has one or two more chances to win - and to win ...... He must look within himself, And know, that he is a champion 🏆 A champion, that does it - hes way. ❤️

[@MrFlapgargle]

Wasn't his day, that happens in marathons even to the goat. The lead group was flying first 5k and 2nd but not so fast to leave Kipchoge so far back. Just wasn't his day, plain and simple. He'll come back strong.

lets see he ran the first half in a little over 1 hour, and the second half in almost 107. Even though Kipchoge ran a sub 207 even though it still is an incredibly fast time it was a disaster. People say it was age blah blah blah. I don's see old men running that fast. Sorry. I don't buy it. The man had an off day. He still has it. Lets enjoy the show while the man is still running, one day he will hang it up. But for now lets enjoy his greatness, and stop giving excuses for him. He is better than that and deserves our respect.

[@adityayulla]

Maybe because the first 10k is very long negatife elevation.. but somehow kipruto can keep up the pace while kipchoge not

[@jacksonm.6549]

To me he is the marathon GOAT. He has done it and ran a sub 2 at Monza. He can bow out and let the younger fresh blood take the baton and reach new heights. It's unfortunate that the best candidate to run a sub 2 in a race passed away, but these young guns give me hope! I think Kipchoge needs to be a bit more realistic and set lower time goals in future marathons and stick to slightly slower pacing. A possible reason for not dropping out of the race is the TV time and sponsor contracts. He was the only competitor running in the Ineos kit, so after the pacers left, he could not stop. I really hope he does well in possibly his last ever Olympic marathon with a realistic chance to win.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

Eliud is still the GOAT, this race takes nothing away from him. Something 'unnatural' in the food, because of runners you never heard of? The gene pool of long distance runners in Kenya is crazy. So crazy that the Kenyan runners themselves meet other Kenyan runners they never heard of in just about every race. Could entire villages be eating unnatural food?

There are no pacers at the Olympics, which should make it a slower race early on.

To expect Kipchoge to win all races is unrealistic. As he gets older, younger athletes will continue to improve their times and win races. Two athletes ran under 2H03 which tells you that there is nothing suspicious about the first 5 kms fast time.
