This is a near perfect day to remember the man who first inched closer to the sub 2 hours in an official marathon race.
Not long ago, Kelvin Kiptum ran 2:00:35 in Chicago, which was unsettling in the way it shifted belief.
And then, just as the world began to adjust to that new reality, he was gone. Gone forever.
Kelvin Kiptum died in a car accident, alongside his coach Gervais Hakizimana. Man, this happened just after the record had been ratified. He was 24.
We will never know what a contest between Sabastian Sawe would have produced, but it would have been historic
May the day break

WHY STRIKING DUBAI IS DEVIOUSLY GENIUS
It’s all about cost/benefit.
Israel has been under constant missile and rocket attacks for 40 years. They don’t care.
US bases in the region are prepared to deal with these attacks.
Dubai is not at all prepared and its population has no stomach for a prolonged campaign. 2-3 days of this and there will be widespread panic in Dubai.
Meanwhile, Dubai (UAE) has great leverage over Trump. Remember all those Trump coins, personal investments and donation to the Board of Peace?
Striking Dubai makes it very costly for Trump to keep the war going. And Iran is a cornered beast. They don’t care about future relations with the UAE.
For the UAE, this is damage control. They need the attacks to stop NOW. They can’t prioritize revenge or political motives. They will push Trump to end the war very quickly.
