@jaroslawkaczynski1 I mean at least he made history right? He was the first human being to run a 2 hour marathon, maybe not under 2 hours but he was the first to run 2 hours. And I hope his legacy does not fall off, "No human is limited" He should really be remembered, he probably has the strongest mind right now as an elite runner. I really respect him for that.
Nic K you’re a fucking moron. They are British commentators and Mo is a British legend of course they’re bias towards him. Also he is by far the most decorated out of them and would be expected to beat them
JJL 250 “By FAR the most decorated”??? Lol umm no he’s not. Any simple Google search reveals Bekele is FAR more decorated. Not quite sure where you’re getting your info from.
Aaron Pilkey You do know it is Tariku Bekele running? Who is Kenenisa Bekele’ brother and had no major outdoor medals at this point, compared to Mo who was currently the 5000m world champion.
They didn't realise a legend was racing with them.. The ultimate athlete that broke the pain, speed and time barrier... Hail Eliud.. Nothings unachievable..
Salute to all these finishers. I just can't imagine the mechanics of bodies and legs that can sustain 60 seconds or less per 400 meter in a 2-mile event that is 16 laps in an indoor stadium. Woww simply astonishing.
Born of Kenya💝 lotsa love our hero. You've made us proud in countless times. Nipewe likes ata mimi kwa huyu shujaa wetu. If you love this Kenyan national hero kindly give me a like as you pass my comments Kenyans and all his fans worldwide🌹🌹
I think there's great truth in this statement. "Discipline" is essentially the idea of negating impulses that would otherwise lead to comfortable or "easy" behaviors. Without any discipline whatsoever, a person would be entirely beholden to their impulses to obtain food, sex, comfort, whatever. With discipline, the ability to deny the impulses to seek those things (i.e. Kipchoge denies his impulse to be at rest while training), a person can do whatever else they want. Obviously you have to eat, but if you CAN abnegate those desires where possible, therefore being disciplined, you gain a tremendous amount of freedom.
I love this,when everybody thinks someone else is better than everyone, suddenly, you beat them by an unimaginable margin.Eliud Kipchoge what an inspiration.
@frazier Omondi kipchoge is a fantastic runner. There are a fair number of guys out there with better times than Farah but not so many with more medals. Greatness can take different forms.
Ok I respect that he's your favourite but I can almost guarantee you're just a band wagon fan cause you probably didn't even know who he was until he broke the marathon world record and started being way more prominent in distance racing. Not a bad wagon to jump on tho
It's always the commentary for me,they spent the whole time talking about how Moh is going to win this race with a lot of certainty but again,here comes Kipchoge!
Mohammad Farah was overrated, in my opinion. The success he had came during a 'lull' in elite running; some of the greats were getting older, and the newcomers hadn't reached their peak. Put him in any other Olympics, and he wouldn't have been on the podium. It is annoying, yet comical, to listen to the British commentators on all of these races; obviously supporting Mohammad Farah and making excuses for his lackluster performance.
Its British commentary for British TV of a race which was held in Britain . Of course they're going to focus on British athletes. I'm sure if Kenya hosted and televised races they'd focus on their athletes.
@@maddogmartha4142 I don't think it's too much to ask of British commentators covering a race that features runners of the calibre of Farah and Kipchoge that they treat it in a historical context as well as a partisan one. Yes, Farah is the home soil hero and was then the greatest runner in the world, but there should have been more excitement for the way Kipchoge ran. It's not like Farah was SLOW, they were all stoked for him to break the record after the first 800, but Kipchoge smelled blood and stepped up. The former world champion runs a statement race against the current one, takes him down in front of his home crowd--these are the moments when you see what an athlete is really made of, and it just gets completely elided by the focus on Farah. Commentators ought to be fans of the sport, not just a particular athlete, and this was a great moment for the sport. If Farah ran in Kenya, you can bet the broadcast would be all over him as much as the Kenyans.
@@maddogmartha4142 If the game is all about British, then there was no point of inviting international athletes. You could as well do everything on your own and celebrate Mo beating British nobodies.
Eliud Kipchoge - greatest long distance runner in the WORLD. His face remained calm and he makes it look effortless throughout, only a slight grimace at the last bend, then focus and calm again as he kicks hard to the end. Compare Mo and Bekele’s expressions - tightness and pain in their faces
Does their facial expression really matter, its probably going to be unpleasant after running an 8:10 two mile. They're are plenty of other races where kipchoge doesn't do so well and he grimaces while Mo or Bekele do not and they do better than him, facial expression has nothing to do with speed. They are all in the group of the best distance runners in the world its not definitive that one is better than the other, you can compare times if you want but comparing their facial expressions makes no sense...
ML Ng he was in just as much pain as the others. Also Mo Farah is a greater distance runner than Eliud (not hating on him, everyone running that race are some of the greatest athletes on the planet), but still, why do you think the commentators kept talking about him?
It’s almost impossible to understand how fast these gifted people are running, Think of the fastest person you know. Kick it up a notch. And do it for two solid miles. Simply insane. And now they’re doing it for 10K, half marathons and full marathons. I know it looks like they’re jogging, but they’re actually flying.
The fastest person I know runs a sub-11 100m so no, if I kick that up a notch it’s still way faster than these guys are running. They’re running about 15 second 100m for 2 miles, which is flying, but it’s not a sprint. Also, they do not look like they’re jogging at all, they look like they’re going very fast
The reason I'm still proud of Kipchoge even if he has been dethroned in the 2020 London Marathon. Still a hero. Hit the like button if you're still here after his fall.
All the practice he does is for enduring the laps when everyone starts getting tired and there comes EK, as if he just started the race..... Mind-blowing ❤
i think that the key to Eliuds succes is his humility. This man does not go around with some expensive V8 or TX i wish him the best............Greatest marathoner who ever lived
Kipchoge amazes me how he can switch between high intensity short runs and long but still fairly intense races. He is such a great all-rounder. Bekele too tbh
Commenters were biased,,,they mentioned Mo's name more than their age combined BUT something that pissed me off is, even after Kipchoge won the race, they still gave Mo the opportunity to address the media instead of the Winner.
ceeC M. Your racist for generalizing all whites as bigots. Also, they interviewed mo Farrah because the commentators are commentating for British Olympics and mo Farrah is British. That’s not disrespect to kipoche. In the u.s.a commentators talk about American runners and not other countries runners. This goes with all countries.
Indolent moronic fool because the commentators are commentating for people who are watching the Olympics in Britain. If kipoche lost, Kenyans would not interview the winner, they would interview kipoche. Commentators always interviews their runners that represent their country and not other countries. It’s not disrespect
"he's a great athlete...but not one Mo Farah wouldn't like to be beaten by.." jokes on you now!!! Kipchoge is the GOAT...and now a legend in the Marathon!
isn't this just a great lesson. I didn't think Fara looked that fresh during the race but the commentatorsJUST couldnt let go of THEIR favourite. These Brits are such colonial idiots. Meanwhile...Kipchoge has rewritten history.
Really great camera work. It gives a good sense of how incredibly fast these men are running. To truly appreciate it though, you have to see it in person and up close. From the ground level these elite athletes are amazing to watch.
I'm amazed at how lasting this man is! He has run and won Championships at all levels and terrains. His records speak for themselves. Being from Kenya, he doesn't get enough attention that he deserves! The commentators are proof enough
I recently watched the Olympic marathon race from the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo on the Olympic RU-vid channel with Eliud Kipchoge in the pack. It was terrifying.
One thing them all have in common is that they literally come from what might be one country if not region, Bekele from southern rift valley of Ethiopia, kipchoge from Northern rift valley of Kenya and Farah born in Southern rift Valley of Somalia
