This afternoon, the 48th Berlin Marathon (hereinafter referred to as Berlin Marathon) started. In addition to the next two weekends, the London Marathon and the Chicago Marathon will be unveiled, and the World Marathon Grand Slam event will start the "back-to-back" "three consecutive games".
"King of Marathon" Kipchoger returned to Berlin after four years, and once again broke the men's marathon world record held by himself with a score of 2 hours, 01 minutes, and won the fourth crown of Berma. However, the only regret is that he still failed to "break the second" this time.
Berlin Marathon is a record fertile soil
Berlin Marathon is one of the six world marathon Grand Slam events and one of the two European Grand Slams (the other is the London Marathon). Internationally, the Berlin Marathon is known for its good results. Currently, 11 best results or world records have been produced on the Berlin track (8 for men and 3 for women). The three best results of the men's marathon so far and four of the top 5 best results were created here.
Why did the Berlin Marathon achieve success?
Why did the Berlin Marathon achieve success? First of all, the temperature is more appropriate, and players are prone to achieving results. The average temperature in Berlin is 11-19℃ in September, and the temperature is even lower in late September, while the best temperature for a marathon run by the World Athletics Federation is 5-15℃.
Pyramid track is generally straight, with small slopes and undulations, which is conducive to reducing players' energy consumption. In addition, the Berlin Raceway connects Berlin's classic attractions and cityscapes, giving players a feeling of moving and changing scenery while running, reducing the "aesthetic fatigue" caused by the same scenery. In 2003, the starting and ending point of Pyrma was first set at Brandenburg Gate , becoming a tradition.
Due to the epidemic in 2020, Berma canceled the event, so this year's event is the 48th. Pyram is a marathon Grand Slam event (calculated by points, it is 6 Grand Slam events, the Olympics and World Track and Field Championships marathon events), with relatively high bonuses and ranking points, so it attracts many experts to participate. In 2018, Kipchoge broke the world record of 2:02:57 set by Kimeto in Berlin in 2014 with 2:01:39, winning the 2-hour and 4-minute standard award, the 40,000 euro championship award and the 50,000 euro world record award, a total of 120,000 euros.

"King of Marathons" dominant performance
Two-time Olympic men's marathon champion, 37-year-old Kenya player Kipchoge is considered to be the greatest marathon athlete today. He has won 11 championships in the 12 marathons he participated, and has won almost all major events in recent years. On the marathon track, Kipchoge stood on the altar and Dugu Qiu was defeated.
Kipchoge seemed to be born for a marathon, with excellent physical conditions, top cardiopulmonary function, height 1.67 meters, weight 52 kilograms, and no extra fat on his body. The IAAF evaluates Kipchoge as "Marathon King".
Kipchoger set a world record of 2 hours, 1 minute and 39 seconds in the Berlin Marathon 4 years ago. The marathon "breaking two" is considered a great challenge to human extreme , and some sports fans even compared it to human moon landing plans.
Kipchoge is the first person in the world to run a complete marathon in two hours. In the 2019 Vienna "1:59 Challenge", Kipchoger passed the finish line with 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds. However, this achievement has not been recognized by the IAAF since the competition environment, logistics supply, pace team, etc. do not meet international standards. But in Kipchoger's view, "If you run a marathon in two hours, it's a real race. In Vienna, I made history, in Berlin, I set a world record."
Kipchoger's biggest feature is "selective participation, dominant performance." During his marathon career, he participated in 2-3 races a year, so he has participated in 18 official marathons so far. He won consecutive championships in Rio and Tokyo Olympics, and his current goal is to collect 6 different marathon Grand Slam champions.With the Tokyo Marathon this year, only Chicago and Boston won the city marathon championship.
The only regret that he failed to "break two"
This year he gave up the New York Marathon 6 weeks later and participated in the 2018 world record (2:01:39). He undoubtedly hopes to create better results. To put it bluntly, he breaks the world record again. In fact, as Kipchoger was "to the fourth place" at age, he didn't have much time left to break the world record. In familiar venues, there are psychological hints of winning the championship and breaking records, and with the advantage of "the right time, place and people", Kipchoge's probability of breaking the record is higher. After the
race started, Kipchoger always maintained his pace. He only took 59 minutes and 51 seconds to half the race, with an average pace of 250. This score is faster than when he broke the 2 record before! Kipchoge completed 35 kilometers in 1 hour, 40 minutes and 10 minutes. In the end, he maintained his own pace and set a new world record he held with 2 hours, 1 minute, 09! But the only regret is that it failed to "break the two".

Kipchogege said in an interview before the Berlin Marathon: "I believe I have proved to many athletes and the next generation of young runners that humans will one day run for 2 hours if they comply with the existing rules, maybe in Berlin, maybe somewhere else... I don't expect to run for 2 hours in this competition, but I will run a very exciting race to inspire everyone and let more people fall in love with the marathon."
