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

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
2015 :NED Schippers :GBR Rutherford :SUI Zbären :POL Bukowiecki
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.
