Eliud Kipchoge has really made me fall in love with Marathons. Wow.

[Lanun-D]

Running 41km and still sprinting while smiling. What an Olyimpian. The greatest of all time,

[SunnyKid]

any one who finishes a marathon is a champion !

It’s impossible to run a marathon under 2 hours
Eliud: hold my water bottle

Congratulations to Kipchoge for winning the Tokyo 2020 marathon...greatest

[Cornrelish]

33:00 I think the 2-hour barrier for the marathon won't be broken for another 20 years.
Kipchoge: Give me 3 years...

Imagine running a 2.5hr marathon and still coming in 100th+ place

Can we applaud the commentators for somehow finding something to talk about the whole time?

[mistbornallomancer]

This guy has one of the best mindset's.. .. That takes a lot of mental and physical strength.. . He destroyed the race! !!

[traskulgo]

A person who completes a marathon deserves all respect.

“This is the most important day of his life.”

Little did they know...

Huge props to the guy from North- Korea, not only was he able to hang on to the pack for most of the run, but he placed fairly high aswell, with a pretty good time. North-korea doesnt have the facilitys to train these athlete. and the guy probably never had any real experiences of a marathon, like in the crowd and the atmosphere in the pack.. so huge props bro, saw u collapse near the finish. Fighting till the end... (Yes, north korea bad, but this guys spirit good!)

Eliud Kipchoge is a beast of nature. Long live Kenya, long live Africa

The commentator at 2:35:00.. "The only thing that over took kipchoge was the realization he was the Olympic champion, none of his opponent's did".. Was a hilarious comment.

[shsri]

You watch 2:10:49 and realise the kind of focus and determination he has in his eyes.. what a legend

[harbinkhanna]

This man is a legend








Like to agree

[Mesqualito]

I watch this for the second time, this is the best marathon visual capture of all time. Camera work, color gradation, all those slow motion shots, scenery, overall vision of how to show what running is about- it's a masterpiece.

[sharonrobin]

Wow Kipchoge face at 37:24 looked so focus and calm...like there’s no sign of exhaustion...
This man drew me into marathon..and i’ll keep practice for that ^^

[artist-scopes]

the kenyan national anthem is just fantastic!
