BMW Berlin Marathon

BERLIN: Eliud Kipchoge sliced half a minute from his own world record* to win the BMW Berlin Marathon, clocking a sensational 2:01:09 at the World Athletics Elite Platinum Label road race on Sunday.

Just when it seemed Kipchoge had achieved everything he possibly could over the classic distance, the legend pushed the world record further out of reach for the rest of the distance-running world.

BERLIN: For Kenya's Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge, breaking the marathon world record was always about when and not if. But the manner in which he did it Sunday in Berlin - delivering the largest single improvement timing since Derek Clayton improved the mark by 2:23 way back in 1967 - makes it without a shade of doubt the greatest performance in the history of marathon running on the male side.
