The Eliud Kipchoge VS. Kelvin Kiptum Situation (Berlin 2023) 

We can all agree that no matter who wins, they are both legendary ❤😮

Really enjoying your content. Well done. Keep up the good work.

I’d love to see some coverage of the new backyard ultra world record set this week. Outstanding running by the winner Phil Gore and the assist from Sam Harvey. 102 hours and every hour running 6.7km (4.1 mile), awesome ultra achievement.

I hope Eliud come backs strong after his last race. If he is at his best again then I think he will do well with Kiptum pacing him in the second half because remember Eliud can run sub-2hr with a pacemaker so Kiptum could drag him along and then Eliud storm past at the end for the win. If Eliud is actually done then Kiptum will win with a WR because Kiptum does not need Eliud to run fast. Either way whoever wins will run a WR.

Hahah good prediction, Kipchogy just announce he is running Berlin in fall. Can’t wait!

My marathon goal pace is exactly 4:34 too Just per Km.

The jury is still out on Kiptum's cleanliness. I hope he is, but we shall see over time. It's definitely suspect for him to come out of relative obscurity and burst onto the marathon scene.

Finaly some long distance running content here

Eliud confirmed for Berlin. Lets see what Kiptum will say

hope they take your advice! LFG

0 degrees Celsius is 273 degrees Kiptum.

I really think one of them would go 2:00:30 is this happens

If kipchoge is still in his peak years... then boy oh boy... Kiptum and kipchoge will be the most crazy and most anticipated marathon of all time. Now, I am NOT counting kipchoge out! "BUT", "But" lets face something here... Kiptum ran in the same conditions... missed his bottle... and still almost broke the world record! (Not to mention a huge negative split!), and kipchoge also missed his maurten at tokyo! (Remember?) I think The reason "REAL" why kipchoge lost is because he went out tooo fast, and does not know boston course. If kiptum is "right" with kipchoge at half way point... then... Kipchoge might be in trouble...

I’d love to see Kipchoge vs Kiptum. I see Kiptum pacing off of Kipchoge’s first half and then dropping a sub 1hr for the second half

Kiptum is going to SMASH the record. He’s different. It’s just how it goes. A new breed or runner and he’s focusing on the marathon especially young which is rare. kiptum is 23 and has run the 2nd & 4th fastest all time. Eliud didn’t run under 2:04 until his early 30s. We can pretend marathons peak late but of course that’s not true. It’s just not something a young body would prefer. On his debut at 29 he lost to the world record time of Kipsang. Who is a year older than Eliud. Imagine what Kiptum will be doing in another half decade from right now. It’s wild. If he stays motivated and focused on the marathon which I haven’t the slightest clue why he would but I’m grateful to witness, then no man and no record stands a snowballs chance in hell.

I wanna see Kipchoge negative splitting Kiptum. Because Kipchoge can go fast first half and then make Kiptum pays the price so he could not negative split after. And i doubt Kiptum will run his pace, he will follow Kipchoge

There will be firecrackers on the streets of Berlin if the two greatest marathon runners meet! Anything is possible, but it remains to be seen. There might emerge other challengers as we can never be so certain nowadays. Good luck to all! Can’t wait 😜

1:18 the reason was recently discussed re missing his water bottle etc. He's basically dehydrated. As what Mr. Hall, The Beast, said, " You need to hydrate!"

Got my flights for Berlin, 73 days 6hrs from now. Super excited, I think if Kelvin races he's got it in the bag.

As said at the start unbelievable.

I'll chase both of them in Berlin and set a new PB :).

Eliud Kipchoge is much more expirienced than Kiptum therefore I think that Kipchoge out run Kiptum on the other handKiptum may have the advanced role of the underdog and can surprise everyone if Eliud fail. But I think Kipchoge may have missed Boston because he has not had his companions and was running on his own the whole time and if Eliud has his team with him in Berlin it will be difficult for Kiptum to win this marathon.

I think Kipchoge is switching to the discus. 👍

Always have been a Kipchoge fan but Kiptum is taking the stage... Kiptum should win

Pienso que kiptum puede bajar el record a 1'59'00/2'00 y Lipchogue podria llegar segudo en 2'02/2'03

That record would be broken if kipchoge was not running! They will run in more time

I am suprised people are still counting on kenesisa bekele. I mean of course he is a legend at "overall distance" but, He is way past his 40s!

Too bad I’ll be busy staying alive at km 21-23 when they cross the line at 1:59h to make history 😂 Still great to be part of it 🤩

Kiptum will get the World Record

And be careful that another one could come out in Berlin that might beat Kipchogue too

Is a world record in Berlin more important than the win? Meaning, if they both show up, do they want to be tactical/slower, or would it be in their interest to basically both go all in and whatever happens, happens? I don't see these guys caring about the WR as much as that purse. Of course, a WR and the win, well that's probably a big pay day as well.

Kip bros

I just hope Kipchoge still has the ability to run another 2:01:09 or faster. Because Kiptum is just getting faster & faster. I think kiptum will run under 2 hours within *ONE* year. So before the end of 2024.

If Kipchogue runs in Berlin or New York it is difficult, in New York the course is hard and in Berlin Kiptum will be there and if Kipchogue does not make the podium with less than .2'05 he will be out of the Olympic team!

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now I'm confused: I don't know if Kiptum is the only one to beat Kipchoge or if Kipchoge is the only one capable of beating Kiptum.

Eliud Kipchog is 38 Kiptum is 23 the young man will take it.

I hope Kiptum is legit and clean, no substances, if that's the case he will definitely break the world record soon.

Kiptom will obliterate the 2 hour mark by his 5th marathon at the latest

I am sure Pop Pop Kipchoge will take the appearance fees and come in sixth place again especially if the weather is bad As he can no longer run in bad weather other people will make the podium in Berlin, no world record is in jeopardy

If Kipchoge follows Kiptum style he will break at the end

4:54 doesn't look right 👀

At this point, Kipchoge is the legend. Kiptum has run fast, but is not a legend yet.

Kiptum will be the next marathon record holder.Mark my words

Kipchoge has more experience, he will win because of racing tactics.

Eliud Kipchoge

Lipchogue no longer has the foolishness to put up with the change of pace

A Kenyan vs a Kenyan! ❤❤❤❤

Kiptum, 2hrs 25secs

Please stop making mistakes on the graphics. He won Chicago, has not won Boston or NYC

Of course kipchoge wins, no doubt me personally.

Kipchogue has no chance against Kiptum, age and time have passed and he is his substitute, now that Miptum is clean and does not contain prohibited substances, that is another matter,

I'd put my money on Kiptum doping.

Когда-нибудь азиат выиграет этот марафон?

Am I the only one that doesn’t buy that Kiptum is clean? Like nobody knew of this guy before 2 years ago…suspicious if you ask me

Eliud has no chance

It’s like Djokovic and Alcaraz. Kipchoge is the best ever but I think Berlin 2023 can win Kiptum. Sorry for the legend.

Kipchoge is not invincible he is nearing 40 he is not in his 20s anymore and he is slowing down. I dont care what training he uses no one beats time retirement is closer if he loses time to hang it up and enjoy family and business. All the excuses for Kipchoge is unreal making it seem like he is untouchable which in fact he can lose like anyone else. His single record is going to go down soon enough. He was a great champion in his day but time to hang it up and move on.

Can we please stop talking about Bekele? Once he can finish a race maybe we’ll talk.

LMAO… they are not going to break world record for sure. You’re just hyping by making such claims. Obviously you have no idea what it’s like to run marathon so fast.

First

This entire conversation is just so incredibly stupid. Ofcourse Kiptum will beat Kipchoge, but 100% only because age and 100% because Kipchoge showed the world what is possible. The same way Roger Bannister did with the mile.

Eluid time is up..move on...stop forcing it...there's younger guys out there

You checked off the wrong marathons in the video, you dip

Kiptum is the next new world champion, and I think Eliud will choose New York this year. He don't like to loose
