Newcomer Kelvin Kiptum finished his first Bank of America Chicago Marathon in historic fashion, not only winning the 2023 race and beating out defending champion Benson Kipruto, but possibly setting a world record in the process.
For sure! The previous men’s record on this course was 2:03:45 which he beat by OVER 3 MINUTES! Berlin is a faster course where Kipchoge had the 2:01:09 world record from last year so I pretty much guarantee you Kiptum will drop a sub 2 hour barrier time in Berlin next year if the course conditions are favourable that day!
I thought Eliud couldn't be beaten. His times are completely crazy. But what Kelvin Kiptum has delivered here is simply incredible. It's probably only a matter of time until the 2-minute mark is reached. And of course we are now waiting for the clash of the titans: Eliud vs. Kelvin!
The year is 2756. A genetically engineered embryo containing the frozen sperm of Kiptum, Kipchoge, and Bolt, is fused with The terminator, and wins the Marathon with a time of sub 2 mins.
Two greats of the marathon - Samuel Wanjiru and Kelvin Kiptum - Both Kenyan, both died at age 24, both had so much more to show us. Wanjiru still holds the Olympic record and I dare say, Kiptum will hold the World record for many years to come.
I have been fortunate to run 9 x marathons, including the 6 x majors - every time, it takes me circa 2 hours to recover - this legend looks fresher than me jogging to the local store 🤣🥰👏👏 🐐 👏
Average of 4:36 per mile. For 26.2 miles. I called my self a distance runner back in the day but my best was 4:59 for a single mile(shit I know) And I damn near died doing it. Mad respect.
@@Tritiuminducedfusion And the second-place finisher -- who ran 2:04! -- was still nowhere in sight at the end of this video. Truly in a class of his own.
This will be the first human to run an official marathon in under 2 hrs. He will do it. He just needs to run 1 second faster every km..but it is the marathon guys. A second is a lifetime. So hard to break it
@titusngetich1222 special meaning wataishi miaka 259, Even kikuyus and Somalis are good at business and own most businesses in Kenya, and you never hear them bragging. Unadhani hatujui wakalee wanakimbiaga? We even cheer for them to win, its the show of pride that we hate.
How the hell is he not even sweaty? Kiptum and Kipchoge will be my inspiration to run a 3:25:00 for my first marathon in 6 days at 42 while weighing double what they weigh. 😂😆👌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
