According to the regulations, you can compete in up to four centimeters thick soles, but Hurisa had five centimeters on his shoes, which was a deviation from what he reported to the organizer in advance.

- This is the first time that something like this has happened.

I am sure that from now on there will be extended tests to avoid this situation in the big races, says race director Hannes Langer according to Reuters.

Kenyan Leonard Langat was declared the winner.

He was three seconds behind Hurisa in goal in the time 2.09.25.

- Of course I would have liked to break the finish line.

My goal was to win the race and I thank God that I did it in the end, says Langat.
