Beijing time on September 25, 2022 Berlin Marathon won the gold medal. Kenya player Kipchoge broke the world record and won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 09 seconds. He once again proved that he is the best marathon athlete in the world today. The women's group competition also created excellent results. Asefa, the Ethiopian , set a tournament record with 2 hours, 15 minutes and 37 seconds, which is the third best result in the women's marathon history.
Before this year's Berlin Marathon, Kipchoger won the championship in the event three times. In 2018, he won the championship with 2 hours, 01 minutes and 39 seconds, which set the world record for the men's marathon . Before coming to Berlin this time, Kipchoger expressed his hope to run a good game and that if everything goes well, he is expected to hit the record. The final result proves that what Kipchoge said is true, and he does have the ability to rewrite the record again.
However, unlike the last time when he set a record, Kipchoger's game was a bit difficult at the beginning of the game. The first 5 kilometers took 14 minutes and 14 seconds, and the score at 10 kilometers was 28 minutes and 22 seconds. Both results were slower than the world record segment results, but they were still within 2 hours of finishing. After
, Kipchoger maintained this rate and halfway through the schedule, his result was 59 minutes and 50 seconds. Unfortunately, his speed dropped afterwards. The result was 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 08 seconds at the end of 25 kilometers. The expected finishing time was slightly more than 2 hours, but it was still more than 1 minute faster than the world record. At this stage of the game, Ethiopia's Belihu has been following Kipchog, but as the game progressed, Kenyan superstars slowly accelerated and left their opponents behind and established a clear lead. At the end of 30 kilometers, Kipchoge took 1 hour, 25 minutes and 40 seconds, and at 35 kilometers, his lead was 1 hour, 40 minutes and 10 seconds. Next, Kipchoger played at his own pace. The result was 1 hour, 54 minutes and 53 seconds at 40 kilometers. His lead had exceeded 4 minutes. Another Kenyan player, , Coril , had risen to second place.
In the final sprint stage, Kipchoge maintained high speed. He was the first to cross the line to win the championship. The result was 2 hours, 01 minutes, and 09 seconds, which pushed the original world record by 30 seconds. The original record was set by Kipchoger in Berlin four years ago, and now he has set a new record. Coril won the runner-up in 2 hours, 05 minutes and 58 seconds, while Ethiopia's Abat won the third place in 2 hours, 06 minutes and 28 seconds.
is different from Kipchoge, the competition in the women's group is even more intense. Half the schedule is over, the leading group consisting of 6 people is 1 hour 08 minutes and 13 seconds, and their results are all within the competition record. At 30 kilometers, the result became 1 hour, 36 minutes and 41 seconds. At this time, there were only 3 people left in the leading group. In addition to Asefa, the other two were her Ethiopian compatriots Abayeche and Gra.
As the game progressed, Asefa gradually left her compatriots ahead, and at 35 kilometers she had already opened the lead to 20 seconds. In the remaining competitions, Asefa ran faster and faster. She crossed the line and won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 37 seconds, which broke the tournament record and set a new national record in Ethiopia. In history, Ascepha's results are second only to world record holders Cos Guy (2 hours 14 minutes 04) and Radcliff (2 hours 15 minutes 25). Kenya's Wankiru won the runner-up with 2 hours, 18 minutes and 00 seconds, and Abayeche won the third place.
