Crazy thing is that even his slowest hour was 5:27/km or 8:46/mile pace, which was the 19th hour of the race. He finished with sub 5min/km 8min/mile pace for the last two hours.

They just announced that Killian dropped off.
Heard the same, what a loser ,
I don't get how these runners who are meant to be elite at running up vertical mountains and over boulders can't manage to jog around a flat track with no elevation in conditions that are not that bad. Unless you are walking around with a girl wearing a pair of shorts and sipping a coffee will you feel really cold. For running it isn't bad. One has to chuckle. Throw Bekele onto the track and lets see the WR get literally it's doors blown off

When you can't make it to the start line of a marathon without falling apart, your prospects of success in 24h racing are not good.
Apperantly he was having chest pains and was picked up by an ambulance.
Hopefully everything is ok.
Source? There has been no announcements on the stream, since it went completely mute once it was clear Kilian had to drop out.
You can see in the video he stops and a whole bunch of people are tending to him.
Then the vidoe stream goes to a shot of a secluded part of the track for several minutes only to return with Kilian gone.
Guys relax.
He is going to run the rest of it on a secluded track elsewhere, without GPS watch or witnesses. Record will be posted shortly, and Kilian will write a book about it.

Seriously, get a life. You're a nobody that hasn't broken a decently competitive 5k time, and you need to sh*t on people who have done far better than you, and been being labelled an all-time great in their particular discipline.
Your life must be truly sad and miserable. I still hope you get to break your 16-minute 5k one day, grow a moral and some decency.
I doubt you will, though, which is saddening.

That sure is a lot of assumptions about me. And we all know what happens when you assume.
If Bekele ran a 100 miler...
50% he doesn't even start
50% he runs the marathon in 2:04 and then drops.

his first ultra was Spartathlon (245k) which he won in 21:53:42
his first 24h result is 263k which he split for the first day at a a six day race which he won with 1003k.
Yes, Spartathlon was Kouros' first ultra and he was an unknown at the time. In fact, many people refused to believe he did not cheat as they didn't think it was possible to cover so much distance so fast. The winning time was expected to be around 27 hours.
The next year Kouros returned and ran even faster, in a time which is still the course record. In fact, no one has ever run the course as fast as Kouros did in his first ultra in 1983.
Kilian may be the greatest mountain runner of all time and Kouros could not do what Kilian does in the mountains, but he will never touch Kouros' 24 hour record.
Your profile says "break 16". It's not competitive on even a regional stage anywhere. Unless you are a superhuman that has broken every world record already, your performance isn't anything special. Five of the six guys in this race are still ahead of a national record for a 24h race.
Just shut up.
not a nice ad for salamon. Main man got injured with their new shoes
Kilian did the same thing at UTMB. He came through the checkpoints so fast, they thought he was cheating and held him up for quite some time. They eventually let him go and he easily won the race.
Sebastian Conrad Håkansson is killing it. New national record at 12 hours and probably 100 miles. Still about 5 miles behind where Kouros was at that point.

I think it would be better if you shut up, thanks.

No he didn't. Report was that he was getting dizzy and throwing up.

That's how bad the shoes made him feel.
