China News Service, Beijing, September 25th. Kenyan long-distance runner Kipchoge broke the world record held by himself at the Berlin Marathon on the 25th local time, winning the championship with a time of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 09 seconds, which is more than four years ago. The world record set here was improved by 30 seconds.

　　Kipchoge, 37, is a two-time Olympic marathon champion.

Berlin is a blessed place for him, where he has previously participated in marathons 4 times, won 3 championships, and set a world record of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 39 seconds in 2018.

　　The Berlin Marathon is Kipchoge's second race this year. In the Tokyo Marathon in early March this year, Kipchoge finished the race in 2 hours, 02 minutes and 40 seconds, breaking the competition record and creating the fourth best result in history.

However, before the Berlin Marathon, he was very low-key, emphasizing that this competition is not about running in 2 hours. If he can run a wonderful race, it is very worth celebrating.

　　From the first 5 kilometers of the race that day, Kipchoge showed an excellent competitive state. After about 12 kilometers, he had left others behind. After 25 kilometers, the pacer and all opponents withdrew from the competition, and Kipchoge began to lead alone. .

　　Kipchoge's pace decreased compared to the first half due to the lack of pacers and direct competitors in front of him in the second half, but his outstanding performance in the first half was enough to ensure that he broke the world record.

In the end, he won the championship with a time of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 09 seconds, which was 30 seconds higher than the previous world record he set.

　　This is Kipchoge's fourth time winning the Berlin Marathon and breaking the world record for the second time, which also means that mankind has once again set its limits.

Kipchoge has said that he believes his performance has proven to many athletes and the next generation of young runners that humans will one day run under the 2 hours under existing rules, maybe in Berlin, maybe something else place.
