Marius Kipserem wins in a new course record of 2:04.10 (only four seconds behind the course record of rival Amsterdam), Özbilen falls short 15 seconds or so to break Farah's record.

2:06.18 for Abdi Nageeye, destroying his 2017 PB/Dutch record of 2:08.16 :yikes: 

 

Also, Koen Naert of Belgium obliterating his PB by well over two minutes to 2:07.38, only 17 seconds behind the 1995 Belgian record.

The Rotterdam Marathon today has claimed the life of one of the (probably) recreational runners :(

It was around 20 degrees and sunny, the warmest day of the year, which impacted quite a lot of people.

I just can't stop asking myself who's the genius that decided to schedule both Milan and Rome's Marathon on the same exact day?...:mumble::facepalm::wall:

 

by the way, this was a problem only for the tv networks, not certainly for the organizers to have a decent lineup, as in both races the course records fell one after the other...

 

in Milan, it was a well expected Kenian festival: :KEN Titus Ekiru won the men's event in 2h04m46s ahead of :KEN Evans Chebet (2h07m22s) and :KEN Edwin Koech (2h08m24s)...

meanwhile, the women's race was won by :KEN Vivian Kiplagat in 2h22m25s, with no other girl running under the 2h30min mark...

both times are also the new All-Comers Records for the Italian territory...

 

in Rome, instead, it was Ethiopia to grab all the honours: the men's race went to :ETH Zawude Heyi (2h08m37s, the only competition between Milan and Rome that didn't break the course record), while the women's event was won by Alemu Megertu in 2h22m52s...

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
