Title: Sunday Berlin Marathon -Epic battle with Kipchoge, Bekele & Kipsang for WR.
Post by: RV Pundit on September 22, 2017, 12:30:20 PM: Eliud Kipchoge having ran nearly under 2hrs (just 23 seconds) in Monza - is hot favorite and I am expecting the record to drop to under 2:02 - possibly 2:01 or even lower is possible.

Shaking off Bekele is going to be hard as Kipsang discovered last year - when Bekele just kept hanging in there - despite kipsang several attempts to break him down. Bekele hang on and later surged to win.

It will take Eliud Zen like patience to break the two...
