RIP Kimetto's 35km WR, 1:40.57

Are you like that Eurosport commentator, who says that going sub-2 hours is IMPOSSIBLE?

[heywoodu 13,560]

Kipchoge survived Kimetto's best part very well, now there's not a single kilometer anymore where Kimetto had some insane split...

Of course it's not  

 

The laws of nature don't care about a made up limit like '2 hours'

Also, it's not on Eurosport here, I'm watching German TV and they haven't mentioned 2 hours even once except for that attempt by Kipchoge

1 hour is also a made up limit, but it's impossible.

True but I think you get my point  

 

It's not like 2:00.05 is possible, but suddenly 1:59.55 is not. It might take longer than your or my life, no idea, but I really doubt that in 100 years from now the world record is still starting with a 2

1:56.29 for Kimetto at 40km during his WR, 1:55.32 for Kipchoge now, this WR is being destroyed
