Count it! Cuz in everyone's mind, we do! We don't care about the technicalities, we care what a human was capable of doing. The crowd was a huge help in getting him there. Nike's course was sterile, this one specifically had crowds to help.

I'm sure even people at IAAF who decided not to accept this as an official record are happy for Eliud. But the rules are the rules. In my mind, it's not detracting from what Eliud has achieved in the slightest.
