I saw like a 500 runners go by and never saw Roberto Madrazo (Mexican Presidential hopeful in 2006) going by in your video. So, I think your video is more evidence that he cheated in the race...right? Have you heard about it yet? He has been disqualified. He had previously been declared the winner among the age 55+ runners.

Always thought one day he would break this, surprised it took so long, still think he will do back to back 61 min halfs for sub 2hours 2 mins before he hangs em up. that would be something very hard to break ever. we shall see. tergat and haile olympic marathon final sprint would be marvellous next year. and if they both held hands and crossed together that would be cool too.

Just got back from this. If you want to run a marathon, Berlin's probably the best.

[markgregamy]

you mean for flatness and fast time or is it a picturesque course. those bells are nice for a few moments, did they ring for whole race.

[EdZep123]

Well, certainly for atmosphere. I don't know if they rang for the whole race as I'd run past them. :)

[mmmccc2]

Nice! Thanx for the clip. Hello to all runners from Mexico!

[markgregamy]

ridiculous they pay average baseball players 3 mill per year and give them 20 seconds every night on tv. some legend breaks greatest record of them all and best we get is home video from berlinite, thats ridiculous.

[EdZep123]

Totally agree.

[djEssatu]

ppl said no one going to break Paul Tergat's record any time soon, I said Keninesa will, but man I never expect Haile to do it, Haile is the greatest long distance runner of all time. 2 hours 4 minutes 26 seconds, wow.

[Guymac100]

Incidentally, Haile was as fresh as a daisy at the end and is looking to lower it even further when he competes in the Dubai Marathon in January. And if he breaks his own world record in Dubai, he'll walk away with $1 million...

thank you

[Eljayan]

Thank you so much!!! I've been searching all day for a video of this race, unfortunately it seems that just a small group of people like us realizes of the magnitude of this event! Thanks for being there and share it with all Gebre's Fans in the world!!

[torontorunner]

This milestone will be around for a while. He didn't just break it, he shattered it... What an athlete! Great post, thank you.

[markgregamy]

fantastic no body else in the world media seems to care about this, this is monumental.

[ww1313]
