On September 26, Beijing time, the Berlin Marathon, one of the six Grand Slam events, finally came! Since Beckler had already said he wanted to hit the world record in Berlin, this game looked more like a game specially prepared for Beckler. But the highlight of this game is definitely not just this one.
Competition Preview
Whether Beckler can break the world record is of course the biggest highlight.
Berlin has always been a blessed land for Beckler. The double championships of the World Championships in 2009 reached 2:03:03 in 2016, and even 2:01:41 in 2019. Beckler's distance from the world record is getting closer. But at the age of 39, can he break the world record?
Although it is recognized as the greatest distance runner, Beckler's condition has always been a mystery. No one can stop him when he is in good condition, and it can also surprise him when he is in bad condition.
From 2020 to the present, Beckler has not played in any official marathon. Dating back to 2019, he won the championship in Berlin. Is Beckler trustworthy this time? Before the game, Beckler's coach Hermens said Beckler was in very good shape, which also gave people greater expectations.
In addition to Beckel, Ethiopian Adora, Kenya three top three Kiptanui, Kacheran and Talam are also quite capable. Among the male elites, 11 people ran into 206, so this game was by no means prepared for Beckle alone. For women, except Hiwot Gebrekidan from Ethiopia, no one else has ever run into the 220. In this year's Milan Marathon, she ran the women's best of the year for 2 hours, 19 minutes and 35 seconds. Therefore, from the perspective of her condition, she will be the biggest hit.
In addition, Kenya's Rionoripo, Ethiopia's Amane Beriso and Shure Demise are also popular players.
track is still relatively flat, and this is also one of the easiest tracks in the world to achieve results. In terms of weather, the temperature in Berlin is 18℃, which is still a bit high for the best results.
