Nice decision. Fast course. His PR won't even get him the course record. But the depth of good athletes is not as high as in other fast races like Berlin. So he does not have to share the appearance / winning money with too many others...
Maybe you meant to say 2:03:46 guy Guye Adola.

It's called getting paid, yo.
He will retire from the sport with that PB, he will never ever come close again.
Didn't he get stomped in London and DNF? Yeah, probably another one hit wonder who won't even break 206 again since doping control is onto him. Typical trying to get money for just showing up with an EPO propelled PR.

Ran a 2:32 in London this year. Allowing a whole bunch of club runners to experience the elation of overtaking a 2:03 man towards the end of a marathon.
That said, of the few people I know who experienced it, none actually remember going past him. Guess they were focused on other things.
