While top stars Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia and Kenya’s Wilson Kipsang did not even manage to finish a debutant caused a major surprise: Guye Adola of Ethiopia was leading the race until close to the 40km mark, when Olympic Champion Kipchoge caught him and then surged ahead.Īdola clocked 2:03:46 for second place, which is the fastest debut ever recorded on a record eligible course. The 32 year-old clocked a “rain world record” in Berlin on Sunday. However Kipchoge can add another superlative to his collection: No one has ever run faster in such conditions. In difficult weather conditions with rain and high humidity the world record set by Kenya’s Dennis Kimetto in Berlin in 2014 with 2:02:57 was out of reach in the final part of the race. The Kenyan clocked a world leading time of 2:03:32 after coming from behind.
Eliud Kipchoge confirmed his position as the world’s number one marathon runner by taking a dramatic win in the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON.
