Berlin Marathon 2017

[Alan Shank]

37th kilo was 3:00, and now Kipchoge is catching up again. Did Adola go too early?

[aaronk]

According to my 2017 Athletics Annual, Adola has a 27:09 track 10000 PR!!
That's nothing to sneeze at!!
I fully respect a guy who runs fast track races--- in road races, even if this is his first Marathon!!

[Alan Shank]

Women 35 1:55:39 current 2:19:39, avg. 2:19:25
Kipchoge back in lead. 40K 1:57:08, current 2:03:45 avg. 2:03:34
Looks like Kipchoge will win, but Adola is hanging on.

[aaronk]

1:59:39 for Milne at 40K---but he slowed to a 15:17 between 35 & 40K!!
But he remains on GB National Record pace!!

[Alan Shank]

Kipchoge has broken Adola, but Adola will have the fastest-ever debut, probably.
Kipchoge 2:03:34, 2:03:47 for Adola
Kipchoge 6:26 2195

The British Miline looks like an Ethiopian????????

1:59:39 for Milne at 40K---but he slowed to a 15:17 between 35 & 40K!!
But he remains on GB National Record pace!!

He crushed it! 2:06:11!

I suppose that makes him the favorite at next year's Euro Champs marathon, yes? :-)

Mucho confusion re Milne!
Did the leaderboard get it all wrong?
They've been listing him as GBR all the way---and his time at 40K indicated a finish in just over 2:06!!
So "Milne's" time of 2:06:09 would be correct---IF Milne IS Milne----and IF Milne is British, then Jones's NR is gone!!

[Alan Shank]

women 40K 2:12:46, current 2:20:17, avg. 2:20:03
Cherono 25 seconds ahead of Ayabei

Kipchoge's official is now 2:03:32

I take it you're implying that they might have identified the wrong guy, eh? :-(

[Juicy News]

Yes, the leaderboard has been corrected. The guy, Miline, does not exist.

[Fielding Melish]

2:06:11 was by Ethiopian Mosinet Geremew a 59:11 half-marathoner. Milne ran 2:23 at London last April

[aaronk]

Appears Milne didn't even run the race!!
Just re-checked ALL the leaderboard splits---and Milne's name is GONE!!
So either the leaderboard is all wrong, or ""Milne" doesn't exist!!!

[Alan Shank]

Helen Tola 3rd in women's race, 2:39 back.

[Alan Shank]

Aga has passed Ayabei for 2nd near the end.
Cherono 2:20:23
Aga 2:20:41
Ayabei 2:20:53
