Mnangat has told BBC Sport Africa that the trio ran as pacemakers.So the story from the Kenyans is they were never supposed to be recognized as participants in the race and were there to help He keep pace and break a record, but that still sounds very odd. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

I think its pretty clear they were working with him. Encouraging him and immediately celebrating with him when he won. I mean hes bent over exhausted and they arent even breathing hard.

Are we saying the Chinese government was like "let him win"
I mean the fact that they were given 2nd and 3rd place seems to indicate that pacing story is bullshit. --- Italian, French, German. ... Copied to Clipboard!

yea, I guess a lot of people were dubious because one of the runner's bibs said their name rather than "pacemaker", which he commented on.

That doesn't sound that odd to meWhat I mean is, if the race has a record, it's weird to me for someone who can break it to run it but as someone keeping pace for a person who hired them to help them break the record instead. Unless I'm misunderstanding and the hired guys didn't run the full race, but the article makes it sound like they did. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ...

Unless I'm misunderstanding and the hired guys didn't run the full race, but the article makes it sound like they did. Yeah the only other thing I could think of is if they didn't qualify for some reason? E.g. it would make sense to have a pacemaker under 40 if it was a 40+ race even if that 40 year old could crush the older people. But still seems real weird. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
