WE ALL KNEW THAT Eliud Kipchoge’s World Record would fall someday, but there was still some shock value when his 2:01:09 from ’22 only lasted a couple of weeks longer than a year…
BUT THERE WAS young Kelvin Kiptum pounding through the streets of Chicago for only 35 seconds longer than the once-mythical 2:00 barrier. The 23-year-old (now 24) Kenyan had served notice in April that the WR was in his grasp when he produced the No. 2 time ever, 2:01:25, in winning the big London race…
SISAY LEMMA & ALEXANDER MUTISO traded wins in Prague and Valencia, with the Ethiopian’s 2:01:48 in the latter moving him to No. 4 on the all-time list… Kipchoge rates for a record 10th year in a row, with his lowest finish since his debut in ’13.
