Let's not forget:
1. Khalid has more CHICAGO wins than Tergat has major wins.
2. Khalid is 2-0 against Tergat
3. Marathon conditions and courses are different and head to head records are far more important than PR times.
4 Even in standardized distances, head to head is still far more important.
5. I think calling Tergat a better marathoner than Khalid is, at best, considerably premature.
6. Khalid is not getting the respect that he deserves because he is American, not Kenyan, not a high altitude trainer etc..etc..
7. It was the same prior to the London marathon when Tergat and Geb debutted...who won that race handily?
