Kipchoge is a machine.

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

canefan

Kipchoge just ran the last 5 kms at 3km/min pace. I mean what the actual fuck?

canefan

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

Beaming. Like he'd just had a Sunday jog in the park

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.

Kipchoge literally broke the field

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.

Last Honduran runner dragging himself in now. A determined effort!

canefan

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

mikedogz

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

mikedogz

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