Announcer made a good point about Chep. Hard to be only half in on the marathon and expect to hang with these guys. Still think he has a good future in the marathon when he focuses on it full time I think.

They would need to run just under 2:50/km, or 14:09 per 5km pace the rest of the way to get the WR
Kandie v 2 Ethiopians, Adidas, Adidas v Nike. Supershoes....
So our 3 mens' leaders are: Dawit Wolde, Kibiwott Kandie, and Sisay Lemma, I gather
Wolde, 32, pushing at 1:32:00, best of 2:04:27, 3rd Rotterdam 2021.
2 Ectomorphs, Wolde and Kandie, versus mesomorph, Lemma.
Yes. Kandie led for a couple minutes, then Wolde took over and is leading. They're in a line one step apart.
Wow, Dawit Wolde is a 2-time Olympian in the 1500 for Ethiopia
I don't want to be mean, but about that "Do Nascimento" style, he lost more than 30 seconds the last 5k split... now 1:30:22 at 30k...
Sorry meu garoto, muito brigado!
Comment TV said 4:37 per mile average up till now, not sure if that's accurate.....
Wolde and Kandie have similar strides, Lemma slightly faster turnover....
I mean he was done before 10k
I gather the top 3 women are lined up one after the other (in a pack of men), could not make out order
Worknesh Degefa, Almaz Ayana, Hiwot Gebrekidan
This is distance running, all three are ectomorph. Lemma does have more leg muscle but put him next to a real mesomorph and he's super thin.
Cheptegai in 12th just 20 seconds off the lead is what commentator just said?!
And Degefa increases her pace along with "her" pacer. They were only 37s slower than WR Pace at 30k
I thought the aerial view said Plaza del Ajuntament; not sure what language that was or if it was a typo. (Seems like they got mixed up between Spanish & Valencian halfway through).
He also just ran Chicago in 2:11
That was just like an "advertising" image, not really where they were running
Lemma leading by a few seconds now.
Wolde: Yep, 1:47.4/3:33.82/7:42.65/13:10.13/27:48.66/59:58/2:04:27
He was running 800/1500 around 2011/2022
1:40:41 at 35k, Lemma broke it open
