Kiptum's death was possibly the worst blow to any sport of all time. If marathon was mainstream, it would be headlines for months. He was on the path to beak 2, and was running higher volume than any marathoner ever. double whammy that his coach died too. all that knowledge gone.

One of greatest. If not for Kiptum's deaths and Sammy Wanjiru's too, who knows that they may have achieved - they're up there for me too. Haile Gebrselassie definitely too, who is being forgotten too quickly - if he had been in the Vapourflys, he might well have done something like Kipchoge too on the marathon track.

​@@JohnDoe-xk1dvI disagree. Nobody, not even Gebreselassie, has had the dominance Kipchoge has enjoyed over such a long period of time. Haile can definitely lay claim to one of the greatest distance runners ever.... But greatest MARATHON runner? Kipchoge.

@@JohnDoe-xk1dv you attributing Kiptum and his death is like saying a young kid beating one of Michael Phelps world records, but passed away, immediately puts Michael Phelps greatness in jeopardy. There is no guarantee that Kiptum could win nobody in the modern era has won back to back Olympic golds, let alone 10 straight marathons over 5-6 years.

​@@DonLee1980 healthy Kiptum could not be beaten by the current marathoners.no one was near him. In less than a year ago he raced against the favorite to win the Olympics ( except Kipchoge) and none could even come closer. Am talking about Tamirat, Kipruto, Gabriel Gaye, Mutiso, Bekele none could keep up with Kiptum's explosive speed over second half.

Rest in Peace Kiptum 🕊️

Kipchoge has achieved everything. At that level and at age 40, really only the Olympics would be enough to get him excited. I think he will pumped and confident and will rise to the occasion.

Kenya is making a big decision that i admire . This shows that they are willing to take risks. Kipchoge has not bin at his best this year and also last year.but despite this they are still giving this man who is the greatest marathoner of all time a chance at making Olympic history to become the first man ever to win 3 Olympic golds over the marathon. Many other nations would have just said “ no he isn’t good enough now” which is fair considering is recent form in Boston and Tokyo all be it he did still win the Berlin marathon but Kenya have showed that they are willing to take risks and sometimes a gamble can be what gets you a big victory across all aspects of life.

I wouldn’t write him off in the Paris summer heat. He’s struggled recently in cooler weather and in trying to race younger athletes chasing the WR. In a more strategic race in the heat, ignore Kipchoge at your peril!

As reported by ESPN, Bekele is one of three men selected by the Ethiopian Athletics Federation to represent Ethiopia in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This will be Bekele's fourth Olympic Games and the first time he has represented his country in the marathon

The olympic marathon is going to be a bitter sweet moment no matter the Victor.

It's definitely the sign of being the best ever when people say you're washed up while getting top 10 times at the very very top level.

You have to do an update video now that Bekele has been announced on the Ethiopia team! The dream is a reality- 20 years on

Great to see the two legends in the race even if they don't medal it will be a classic

So meta to see someone named Kenya

KIPTUM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥KIPCHOGE FATHER

A Kipchoge v Bekele marathon would be incredible - but I make neither of them as favourites in Paris now, although one or both may be podium contenders. Whoever wins it will have a last mile kick/sprint possibility ,which these two old war dogs probably don't have anymore in the same way. Let battle commence though - should be an incredible career ending indeed though, if both make the start line 👌

Would be amazing to see Kipchoge and Bekele finishing top 3 in Paris Olympics, bet it will be tuff marathon. There will be very capable young runners.

Where can I see who has been officially selected for the marathon so far?

Probably a quite unpopular take, but I think Evans Chebet objectively deserved the spot more than Kipchoge. Chebet has proven to be a master of tactical Marathons, which the Olympic Marathon almost always certainly is. Kipchoge has lacked in that regard as of late. Oh well, glad Kipchoge will get a shot at 3 Olympic Marathon golds!

Is drafting a thing when running?

It’s funny how the Olympic marathon has the shallowest field because Kenya and Ethiopia are limited to 3 runners each. In the other top events, those 2 countries can often account for the entire top 10-15 places.

RIP Kelvin Kiptum

does it have any relation that some people are sponsored by adidas or nike?

If Bekele runs, I see him beating Kipchoge.

Are they going to run for him ? Interesting team dynamics to try and work out ….

Sounds like the voice of total running productions is some other channel

I wish Bekele was in the Olympics

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

RIP Kiptum

I'll put it out there if the weather is perfect he'll take the gold as he's so experienced & just quality. If it's not he'll miss the medals and probably retire.

It would be historic if Kipchoge got a medal of any colour. I believe he would be the first to win three medals in the Olympic marathon.

I am going to say this again about Paris spécifiquement et the Olympique in general. First, I understand that there are some who have missused and appropreated patriotism to push people to do bad things that have costs millions of lives. Ok, Kyena has to score more points that Ethiopia and they hope all other nations in their best races That used to be a simple us against them that every Keyan and Ethiopian too to heart. No more. There are several nations fighting to be the number one proving and training grounds in middle and distance running. That means that in any given event the longest distance running nations want to pull a Jamaica or one of those USA, USA, USA and win Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Kyena has put a coach in the field of three. I hope Ethiopia plays the same hand. Two experience runners with nothing to gain and nothing to lose are going to run tactical runs that can bring home all the medals to their nation. Gentlemen start your engines cuz its is gonna be a controlled, strategic race for the title of the long and middle distance leader of the world.

TRP has the most click-baity video titles of any channel I’ve watched

Did Bekele make the cut? That would be epic, but I doubt either of them would win it

No one should be surprised he wad selected for his last Olympics. I just hope someone out there can challenge the 40 year old.

I'm surprised they didn't pick Kiptum's training partner. Sub 2:03.

Also the Olympics is not about time. He just has to win

At this rate, Bekele would win between these two masters?

If not. This will just as sad as when Disney didn't have HAN, LUKE and LEIA on screen together again before it was too late.

Looks like Ethiopia just picked Sisay, Tamrat and KING KENNY. I'm glad they got it right this time.

Kipchogue has no chance against the rivals he will face in Paris if he could reach the top 10 but a podium is out of the question.

Kipchoge is my goat, but hes getting smoked. his average marathon time is 2:06:18 over the last 3 marathons. I would love to eat my words and be as wrong as possible. Bekeles average times for his last 3 completed marathons 2:04:15 apart from Berlin for Kipchoge and Bekeles DNF, Bekele seems to be the faster of the two over the last few years overall now.

I think he needed to be selected but I don't think you should say "he did it".
