Our editor Michael Doyle is joined by news editor Jessy Carveth to break down all the action at the 2025 Sydney Marathon, which debuted as a World Marathon Major. They unpack Eliud Kipchoge's surprising performance, and what it means for his legacy. They also discuss Sifan Hassan's greatness. And they debate whether or not Sydney felt like World Marathon Majors material.
