His excitement for each successful bottle exchange is great! All of the little things can add up to a big difference and he helped Kipchoge achieve a new record.
I understand his excitement. It's probably hard for him to differentiate between Kipchoge and the other marathoners so it's an achievement everytime he doesn't end up giving water to the wrong guy. 🤷🏿♂️
They’re in different kits, so it’s actually pretty easy. Not to mention, they don’t all look the same. Your insinuation is at best naive and at worst gross and racist.
Legend! Another lesson. Whatever task you are called to do, even in support of others' greatness, do it so well that even those who would have called it 'humble' will recognise that it is noble, and art. Thank you Bottle Claus.
We can all pretend to be good people, but do you think the hot girl will choose the bottle man or the medical doctor? The world is all about image and perception.
He is hyped to do his job, love the enthusiasm. Plus, as fast as those guys are running, he has to do some serious cycling to get ahead of them, major props to this guy!!
The danger of taking a bottle from a stranger is to risky. If there is a bad/wrong substance in a bottle, come urine sample and the results could be devastating for the athlete.
@Veronicah Njeri That used to be the case but there were instances were athletes were taking the wrong bottle so I am guessing that, the very elite at least, were given the chance to have the bottle given to them every time by the same person
What makes Klaus so great is how he completely understands the significance of what Kipchoge is doing and is 100% committed to ensuring that it happens. And by his actions he is able to communicate that understanding to the rest of us in a way that enables us to understand it as well.
Just one mistake by Klaus on the bottle handover could cost the world record. This is not just any water bottle situation, this is for the greatest marathon runner in the world.
@Optic Flow Also I reckon actually handing the bottle is hard as well. Runners are really fast, you have to let go of the bottle just when the runner has a tight enough grip on it. Make yourself visible, have an eye for a good handover spot. If randoms would do it, runners would have to slow down, change their steps, drop bottles more often. Most of all it has to be reliable and concise.
@@WRSTxPumbaa No, its often from someone on the side of the road. There was an epic blunder in this year's TdF when the handoff team support guy didn't see that a rider from another team was going to be in the way and the rider was accidentally "punched" in the face and fell off. D'oh!
@@bobbybob3447 oh dam. I don't follow Cycling too much. Just saw a video of someone putting a bunch of waterbottles down his shirt while a car drove next to him handing him the bottles. I just assumed they give them the water that way but obviously that would not work on every street they ride on
I once tried to ride a bike at his pace and distance and it's pretty hard. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't out of breath afterwards. Really puts into perspective what these people are doing!
@@ladboii2901 they are running more than 20kph on average. The water stations are seperated by 5km. After they passed him he needs to get on the bike ride the 5km get off the bike prepare the bottle and make himself ready for handing it out all within 15 minutes. He had to drive 40kph at times as he said later in an interview. With a street bike 40kph is not that difficult to reach. But without training 40kph is already tough. And keep that pace up for the entire distance with jumping off and on the bike. I know some people who drive an average of less than 20kph on a bike.
Wow what a performance from him too! Every transition was smooth and he looked delighted with himself! He definitely helped Kipchoge to break that record.
Ich habe den Marathon im TV verfolgt. Eine super Leistung vom Läufer Kipchoge aber auch vom Flaschenträger Schulke. Ein super Team. Glückwunsch an Euch. Herr Kipchoge hat persönlich bei seinem Flaschenträger Schulke bedankt. Ganz großes Kino.
This is the most wholesome thing I've watched this week. The excitement of a mere bottle exchange. The smallest things often matters the most and has the biggest impact. People should consider themselves lucky to have such a positive and bright spirit in their life. This genuinely made my day. I had no clue of this legend.
LOL this man's reaction after handing a bottle over to Kipchoge makes you believe he's the chief NASA scientist who just witnessed his space shuttle land on the moon.
This is freaken awesome. Everyone knows the legendary athletes and coaches but the support staff is hardly recognized. I couldn't stop smiling for him after every successful handoff.
It's my conclusion that it's about the small things we do to one another in life that matter the most. This guy Claus, he's made my evening.congratulstions for a well done job.
I just thought that even on a bike, 42km with a speed of 22 km/h is definitely somewhat of a workout haha. Crazy that humans (well, one human in particular) can do that on foot
Bless his heart for this great service, and also all men and women who took part in this marathon, be it an athlete or cheering spectators to all service men and women! Thank you and bless you all for your great service!
Behind every successful man is a very enthusiastic Bottle Man.

Didn't he also do it at INEOS159?
Haha most underrated comment🤣
His name ist literally „Bottle Klaus“. He also had many interviews this year, met earlier with Kipchoge and many more things 😂
Love seeing him cheer up whenever he took the bottle
Me too
Claus is a legend.He does his thing with passion and enthusiasism.Not everybody can pass that bottle the way he does.Thumbs up Claus.
What's the different thing he does while giving the bottle?
@@Ar-Qatar1 he needs to outpace all the marathon runners as well to always be ready to give the other bottle, sounds easy but it definitely isnt

I loved this guy from the moment he enthusiastically received Kipchoge from the airport. Such a happy soul. Bless him!!
Where did you see it?
Thank you Flotrack for recognising and sharing greatness 🔥
Yea it
I love how elated he gets after each exchange 😂😂👏🏽 Kenya thanks you Claus 🥳💛🇰🇪
This is so endearing! He's got heart and those little expressions of sincerity and gratitude must have helped Kipchoge push!
So happy when he successfully passed on the bottle to the legend himself. Quite impressive when you think about the insane speed of ~21km/h.
In cycling you often do it in higher speeds - but its always a bit of a gamble. Klaus does a great job
@@inbetween7470 but mostly from cars tho right?

That's fast! I dabbled in running, and it was tough for me to stay over ~12kmph! (Not that I was any good 😅)
Bottle-Claus was every bit as important as the flawless course, the marvellous weather, and the unrivaled Berlin crowd.
I was there it was great!
Gotta love how he rushes to get his bike every time. You don't want to let a guy like Kipchoge get a head start on you, even if you have a bike :)
🤣funny

Kipchoge's Bottle Man, Claus-Henning Schulke ultimately transfers energy! A Legend indeed! :D
Claus is simply the best at his craft. I’m not even joking, he puts so much effort and dedication into it.
keeping up with Kipchoge can't be easy.. not even with a bike!
@@acasualviewer5861 Kipchoge does around 21km/h pace. On flat ground that's quite easy to beat by a few km/h
@@da14a49 I'm not going to beat him even at a short distance

He might be the best bottle guy alive. Fantastic how passionate he is about this task.
This is what passion looks like!

He is the fucking goat. What a passion and love behind what he's doing. Amazing. This guy in his age simply beautiful
His excitement for every successful handover is so pure & beautiful to watch. 😂
His contribution will go down in history
Claus is a triathlete himself and he was also Kipchoge's bottle man in 2018.
Flawless technique and celebration!
This man deserves a gift as well. They He took care of Kipchoge,, nobody can ever do it. Am so happy n proud of this two.. God bles u.
Wow what a performance from him too! Every transition was smooth and he looked delighted with himself! He definitely helped Kipchoge to break that record.
So cute and enthusiastic! :) He is part of this incredible result as well :)
