Belgium, a small country of 11 million people in Western Europe has 3 sub-10 marathoners !
Granted, Bashir Abdi (2:03) was born in Africa.
But Koen Naert (2:06) and Michael Somers (2:08:09 in Berlin today) are white guys.

No man.
Give us Trayvon Bramell, Michael Norman and a teenager (sprinter in college) for continuity when these two age.

What a frank statement.
WE can give you Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Paul Tanui.......a teenager and a veteran.
Also, throw in Edward Zakayo.
That would work. YOu know we never disappoint.
Paul Tanui making his marathon debut right now in Buenos Aires
I think he'll do well. HE's a fighter.

Running PRs at age 40+ seems legit. Reminds me of Eddy Hellebuyck and Regina Jacobs.
Just great. The V40 Master's WR is now faster than the British overall national record (2:05:11), and the US national record. It's getting embarrassing now
Don't understand 'embarrassment'. Embrace it: do not need to lead the world, or even compete.
surpriseing that adidas stock is down 1.3% today ;-)
Orta is done......he is done.
