Has the mile ever been an officially recognised event?
I should add the most remarkable thing you'll ever see regarding the marathon are late 90s pin up Nell Mcandrew's times.
There was a car projecting a laser marker onto the road and a continuous cycle of pacemakers, plus a bike to deliver drinks so he didn't have to slow down. So not competitive conditions but a proof of concept at the very least.
Its an event. Brings flashbacks to that dickhead who jumped from space.
I seen a lad get 3 hole in ones by carrying the ball to each hole. Great stuff but still.
The best bit of that Kipchoge thing was the commentators. One seemed to be on the verge of tears, another was comparing it to the fucking moon landing. Have a word mate.
Why are sports channels covering it at all?
It was on the BBC website. The number of people on the course seemed mental to me. Do they not have much to do in Austria?
Not since Adolf left.
Could he chuck a kettle over a pub?
There's not a chance this Kipchoge character isn't about thirty percent steroids. He's in his mid thirties and suddenly he's absolutely blowing world records away. It's all a bit Lance Armstrong.
Suddenly? He's been donning it for a while.
He'd been winning things but never held the world record, then last year at thirty three years old he knocked a minute and a half off the standing record.
There must be something about the Berlin course as well. All 7 of the previous World Records were paced there. I'll give the gap the benefit of the doubt seeing as Paul Radcliffe's wiped 2 and a half minutes off her own record before.
EDIT: Okay, she has two minutes between her mixed and women's times. I'm going to guess field size can play a role as you can potentially have more pace runners.

Don't marathon runners peak at a much later age than other athletes? I seem to remember Gebreselassie was donning it into his forties.
And Paula Radcliffe is not a good example.

Even if the appeal is won they’ll never see a penny of the 30k back. Shameless scrounging cunt.
What sort of horseshit is that? A lifetime of site work makes it more likely he fell because he was pissed up, not less. Uneven, cracked, slippy ground will make up a majority of what he walks over at work.Having regard to the fact this is a man who has worked in manual labouring jobs all his life, I decline to make any adverse finding against him having regard to the level of alcohol consumed by him that day," Mr Justice Barr said.
Judges are completely out of touch with reality.
They’re about as common as the weather unfortunately.
Giggles is a sadder cunt than Mr Thomas Keegan
If the newspapers that I follow on Twitter post it then I’ll see it. Like I said, it’s ridiculously common.

Someone sent me another angle of this earlier on and it’s mad lucky that there weren’t any serious injuries.
We're all sad cunts to some degree so no shame there, online news algorithms also turn the internet into a big echo chamber so the more of these stories you click on the more you will see.
In actual news, it looks like dril has sold out. How could he?
EDIT: for reference:
I'm a twit
I'm most disappointed about how his mask isn't a pixelated Jack Nicholson mask.
Also not sure his style of comedy will really transfer onto screen.
It'll be bad but the guy deserves to be paid for the entire internet just jacking his stuff for the majoirty of this decade.
Why not just write something and trade off of being dril? Using the actual character is a bit lame.
That looks genuinely awful.
National hero.
It sounds like something Paul would do, to be fair.
Wearing a tie bought that very morning.

She was 23 here.
Waiting for Baz to stick that in the shameful lustage thread.

But Sara Khan, liberation and access officer at Manchester University students' union, who promotes herself on social media as a 'future Labour Home Secretary in the Making?', is behind a campaign to prevent the statue being erected.
It was obviously going to end up here, so well done everyone who realised at the time.
If true that tops everything.Miss Khan, 22, was behind a motion at the union last year to ban clapping because it could 'trigger anxiety'.
I mean, he was but it's not like that's the shit he's remembered for.
EDIT: Oh, this is that woman.
You don't need a sign to tell you not to do this.
My woke friend thinks we should stop celebrating Einstein. Apparently he made a trip to China once and wrote in his journal about how feminine the men were and how they submitted to their women too easily. That’s one deeper i’d say
That would just upset people with Parkinson's.
