Hakob Kipimo can simply change the distance running forever.
Hakob Kipimo simply did not break the world record of the semi-deathsman in Barcelona. He crumpled it. Fifty-six minutes and forty-two seconds. That’s how long he took him 13.1 miles. No one has gone 57 minutes before. Nobody ever cut off 48 seconds in one race. It was the most important of the story. That’s why it wasn’t just another quick time. It was a statement. This is a reminder that KIPIPIMO is not just a wonderful runner. He is a one-time generation talent. Last year he lost his record to Yomif Kelchelch, just for a second. This time he assured that no one will return soon.
Cypryipo looked different from the beginning. Pacemaker left 2. At 45 a kilometer, the pace intended to hit 58 minutes. It was supposedly ambitious. But it was very slow for him. He was already pulling in the third kilometer. He hit 5k at 13:34 then took the pace. At 10K he was 26:46. 15k he was running 40. 07 to break his record at that distance. It was obvious at the time. The post just didn’t go down. It would be destroyed. Kipimo never faded. His second half was as fast as his first one. He closed the race 56. 42, leaving the remaining field minutes.
“It’s been a perfect race,” said Kipimo after that. And she wasn’t wrong. The conditions were ideal, cool weather, wind and fast process. But only the conditions do not explain what happened. The truth is that KIPIMIMO was ready for it. He hinted in it weeks soon when he ran at 26:32 in Madrid for 10k. Fitness was there. He was just necessary to show the right day. And here is a bigger question. What more can do?
Cypripon is still only 24 years old. He has already won the Olympic and World Medals on the track. He has won the title of cross-country. And now he has run a half marathon faster than anyone ever imagined. But his next step can be the largest.
In April, he will make his marathon debut in London. And suddenly that race feels different. For years, the marathon belonged to Elikey Kikogen. But Kipchogen bows to mother nature. At the end his time is over. The search for his legal successor continues. Many thought it would be Kelvin Kip, but he was in 2024. Kenyan seemed to be a priority 26.2 miles race. Half of Kipimo’s half marathon assumes that he can run immediately for two hours to two minutes. If his body runs away from a distance he could be a real threat to the World Record of Kiptum.
There is a trail season for looking forward to Kipimo. The World Cup in Tokyo is in Tokyo, and Suddenly, the man must suddenly beat 5,000 m and 10,000 m. He already has an Olympic Bronze since 1021. Last year, he graduated from the eighth in Paris, but it was injured after the injury. Now, healthy, he looks better than ever. And in no means clearly popular, he can be the best bet for gold. The question is how long it stays on the track. His performance in Barcelona suggests that his future is on the roads. And if he assumes the marathon, he could be the most dangerous newcomer at the distance of Kipptum.
Records run all the time. But this is not the case. Kipimon just didn’t run faster. He resumed his best. A few years ago, half 57 half of the half-legged half of her husband seemed ridiculous. It’s real now. And it’s not just about this race. Ugandan proves that he is more than a star. He can be the future of distance. His speed, his strength and the ability of restrictions, are able to anyone now. In April, he will try himself in the Marathon. In Tokyo, he will pursue a double gold track. And nothing seems unavailable after he just did in Barcelona.
