That was a close call for EliudKipchoge's amazing world record! BerlinMarathon
by a two frail seconds in Berlin on Sunday, winning an astounding and almost miraculous Berlin Marathon in 2:01:41.
Ahead of the imaginary Kipchoge for much of the race, Bekele recovered from a bad patch at 31K to destroy the challenge of a new Ethiopian generation and go to the very edge of supplanting a record we all thought was out of sight.“I don't give up. I have had difficult injuries, until only three months ago, but I am happy to run my personal best,” he said after the race. “I had a tight hamstring at 31K and had to slow down, but then it recovered and I was able to retake the lead.
It was an Ethiopian sweep of the podium, with Birhanu Legese taking second and Sisay Lemma in third .Roger Robinson ran for England and New Zealand at world level, and set masters marathon records at Boston and New York, with a best of 2:18:44, at age 41.
