Within spitting distance of 2 hours. Would be interesting to see if it's broken in the next couple of years.

Everything points towards it imo. Kiptum is only 23 and it wasnt planned as a sub 2 run with good pacers and all. And it didnt seem like a crazy fluke either.

If it weren't for the Olympic games in Paris I might have said that it would be likely to even happen next year. But with them being in July/August there might not be the right timing for a good attempt.
