But this race both male and female seem like the leading grp all quite close. The female grp, up till 35km the top 3 still together. The male grp I saw passed half way top few still in the grp.

Not sure if shared here. Think I saw it on fb but I can't find the link. Theres someone who's been running the Berlin marathon for decades. In recent years, He's allowed to start earlier cos he's... hemiplegic. Did it in 7+ hrs I think.

At my side, hougang stadium. Whenever I am doing a evening session there, always see this uncle there running. Very consistent. Can see he is running only his right leg. His left leg like just a straight log that doesn't bend, i.e. his knee and ankle doesn't flex. 

He started with walking, then i was absent from the stadium coz of the pandemic and doing slow runs thus no need for stadium. Now that I have back in the stadium, he has progressed to running. But his left leg is still as straight as a log.

Remind me of another regular walker near my neighbourhood. He always walked through the same path almost every day 5-6k. His left knee is straight when he walked but the right leg is normal. Initially i thought is some knee/leg injury but when i chat with him actually he is survivor from massive brain stroke. half his body left side almost paralysed.

When Kipchoge arrived at the airport, it's just his coach and himself.. No entourage.  Airport also no fans waiting for him. Just Klaus.

Despite the expectation, Gidey finished the race 2nd with a time of 2:16:51.

This is fastest time for debutant.

Both of their time qualify them to be 2nd and 3rd fastest all time finishing
