Kelvin Kiptum is running an amazing race in Chicago and very much attacking Kipchoge's world record.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

And doing it with the pacers dropping early.

And the only non-pacer who followed him, Mateiko, taking the lead for a grand total of....2 seconds, maybe? :d 

 

And I am assuming he's also running on those one-race megasupershoes :p

Wow, the proper sub 2 hour barrier is now thoroughly on!  :bowdown:
 

Kiptum looks like he could try again next week.

I'll invite him to the Amsterdam marathon next week, just so I can say I have run a marathon against him :bye:

Btw, Hassan won the Chicago marathon in the 2nd time ever: 2:13.38, shaving almost two minutes from Paula Radcliffe’s mark of 2:15:25 which stood untouched as the world record from 2003 and 2019.

 

Hassan is now the current European Record holder on the 1.500m, 1 mile, 3.000m, 5.000m (track and road), 10.000m, half marathon, and the marathon. :yikes:

Good news for :IRL is that Sonia O’Sullivan is holding back the clean sweep with the prestigious 2000m!  :lol:

Hassan: European record, second all-time. 
 

Her range is incredible: from 1:56 over 800 meters to 2 hours 13 minutes in the marathon.

Yeah, insane range. However, Hassan isn't one of the finalists for European athlete of the year. The finalists are:

 

  • Women: :NED Bol, :UKR Mahuchikh, :ESP Perez
  • Men: :SWE Duplantis, :NOR Ingebritsen, :GRE Tentoglou
  • Women's Rising Star: :IRL Adeleke, :LAT Caune, :SRB Topic
  • Men's Rising Star: :ITA Furlani, :NOR Ingvaldsen, :NED Laros

 

Previous winners:

 

Year Women Men Women Rising Star Men Rising Star
2022 :NED Bol :NOR Ingebritsen &
:SWE Duplantis
:GRE Tzengko :LTU Alekna
2021 :NED Hassan :NOR Warholm :NED Bol :FRA Zhoya
2020 not awarded
2019 :RUS Lasitskene :NOR Warholm :UKR Mahuchikh :GER Kaul
2018 :GBR Asher-Smith :FRA Mayer :BLR Herman :NOR Ingebritsen &
:SWE Duplantis
2017 :GRE Stefanidi :GER Vetter :UKR Levchenko :NOR Warholm
2016 :ESP Beitia :GBR Farah :BEL Thiam :GER Heß

2014 :NED Schippers :FRA Lavillenie :RUS Kuchina :GBR Gemili
2013 :CZE Hejnová :UKR Bondarenko :ISL Hinriksdóttir :SRB Bekrić

The fact that Thiam has never become European athlete of the year is quite surprising to me.

    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.

    • I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.
    • thats true. If anyone observes the US election map then he can see that Harris dominated in NorthEast states and the Eastern Coast, exactly where the big economic centres are based (New York, New Jersey, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco etc).   Also what i observe regarding politics in western europe is that Socialdemocratic/centre-left parties have become extremely pro-market and even neo-liberal and some traditional right parties have become euroscepticist and protectionist, exactly the opposite as it was in 70s-80s
