On October 2, a week after the 2022 Berlin Marathon ended, the London Marathon, one of the six Grand Slam events, started running.
"second man" of marathon, 40-year-old favorite to win the championship Beckler ranked fifth with 2 hours 05 minutes 53 seconds. Although he missed the championship, he broke the world record in the age group over 40 years old. Doha World Championship bronze medalist and Kenyan player Kipruto won the championship in 2 hours, 04 minutes and 39 seconds. Chinese player Jia Oren finished the game in 2 hours, 25 minutes and 17 seconds, ranking 19th.
In the world of marathon, Beckler is considered a legendary figure who can "contest swordsmanship in Huashan" with Kipchoge. After 37-year-old Kipchoger set the world record in the Berlin Marathon with 2 hours, 1 minutes and 9 seconds, the outside world is full of expectations for the "evergreen" of the marathon, Beckler, and some people questioned whether he could still eat at the age of 40.
Although Kipchoge did not participate, this year's London Marathon is still full of experts. The men's group includes the defending champion, Ethiopian player Cise Rema, and Tokyo Olympic men's marathon bronze medalist Abdi. Chinese athletes Jia Oren and ushered in their debut in the London Marathon.
in the first 30 kilometers, as many as 7 people in the men's group were in the first group, and the suspense of victory and loss remained in the last 12 kilometers. At 35 kilometers, Beckler gradually fell behind. In the last few kilometers, Kentucky Pruto broke through the siege and led 40 kilometers in 1 hour, 58 minutes and 27 seconds, with a pace of 2 minutes and 55 seconds in the 5-kilometer range.
In this year's Tokyo Marathon , Kipruto lost to Kipchoger by only 33 seconds, and finally finished the London Marathon with 2 hours, 04 minutes and 39 seconds, winning his first Grand Slam championship.
Jia Orenjia, who was amateur, scored 2 hours, 25 minutes and 17 seconds. This is his first Malaysian race in two years. He has not been at the best in competitive state and rhythm control, but this result is no longer commendable.
In the women's group competition, as the sixth fastest marathon runner in history, Ethiopian athlete Yevaro, who fell down midway, won the championship with 2 hours, 17 minutes and 26 seconds.
