      His name, Kipchoge, is a Nandi language expression for "born near the grain storage shed.”

      The possibilities are endless for that.

        He's making this race look like one pro vs amateurs

            2 hrs 8 minutes 38 secs. He had a spring in his step and a smile on his face was he waved to the crowd crossing the line

                  Feel sorry for the Kenyan in 4th.

                  All of these times are crazy. It’s hard enough to finish one let alone run it in 2:20.

                    Stark comparison to the Kiwi.

                            Massive effort by Robertson.

                            I loved that he didn't just go out to run a time, but tried to stick with the lead group for as long as possible and at least put himself in line if a miracle happened to wander along.

                            He'll have paid for that at the end - collapsing over the line and looking in a bad way - but, he's absolutely buried himself.

                            If they handed out medals for effort, I'd give him a gold.

                                One of the Japanese runners looked very shoddy. Left leg wasn't working properly, the wheelchair came out pretty fast

                                  Robertson ran a Seasons Best so did the best he could. Was straight into a wheel chair.

                                    A couple of big crashes at the Velodrome. Kiwi in the Scratch race in the Omnium. Officials taken out too.
