Apparently an Aussie out after 10km. Thought it was the Park Run?
In all seriousness, it must have been an injury. Getting one that early must be absolutely soul destroying.

Going for 2hrs10min. That is absolutely farking nuts.

His name, Kipchoge, is a Nandi language expression for "born near the grain storage shed.”
The possibilities are endless for that.

Kipchoge is a machine.
He's making this race look like one pro vs amateurs

Kipchoge just ran the last 5 kms at 3km/min pace. I mean what the actual fuck?
And then looks fresh as a farking daisy when he finished.

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.

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.
