The fastest marathoner, Eliud Kipchoge and the second fastest, Kenenisa Bekele are both managed by the same  manager- Jos Hermens of Global Sports Communications.

The two archrivals flew aboard the same private jet to London for arguably the biggest and most anticipated race of the year- The London Marathon. That is as far as their similarities go.
