Valencia half marathon is going on, a little under halfway to go and they're on WR pace with among others Yomif Kejelcha.

Stream has frozen for some reason now, but who knows.

Kejelcha seems to have broken the WR  

 

Question is if it's by 3-4 seconds (graphics) or by 1 second (time at the finish arch)

Gout Gout started the new season with a bang. Doesn't turn 17 until the end of December so there's still a chance he can get down to Bolt's age record of 20.13

Hopefully they don't keep expanding too much, or else we get to a situation where the majors lose their value more and more.

History in New York yesterday by the way, where Abdi Nageeye became the first ever male major marathon winner from the Netherlands

 

What a run that was, outright beating multiple Boston and NY winners Evans Chebet and Geoffrey Kamworor and Olympic champion + reigning NY winner Tamirat Tola
