Should this article mention more explicitly that this is an unofficial record?[edit]

There are various ways to define what an official time is, of course, but the current consensus seems to be the IAAF rules. Kipchoge also holds the record there.

A big, obvious relative advantage of this event was the team of pacemakers, who confer both aerodynamic and psychological advantages. Khromegnome (talk) 05:30, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Special Shoes[edit]

What were the special shoes mentioned? Do they conform to IAAF or any other sets of rules? Khromegnome (talk) 05:33, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They were from Nike, one of the sponsors. I don't think it's been decided specifically whether the shoes are against IAAF rules, since the whole thing is already disqualified from being an official record for other reasons. Robofish (talk) 09:11, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's now noted in the article with a reference. Khromegnome (talk) 15:52, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mande Bushendich[edit]

The link in the reference to Mande Bushendich no longer exists and is not archived. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Applepants03 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That probably explains the 41/42 discrepancy, then. I removed the entry. TompaDompa (talk) 17:55, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

K versus V formation[edit]

I'm aware that the letter K contains a sideways V, but the pacemakers' formation is referred to as both of these letters. Kindly standardize. Splićanin (talk) 02:55, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think about it, K consists of three V's. Funny. Splićanin (talk) 02:56, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I actually don't see the formation referred to as a "K" in any of the current sources. I changed it to V. If any sources call it a K (I didn't find any), they are certainly outnumbered by the sources calling it a V, which is all I found in a quick search. JimKaatFan (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
