In the 2022 Berlin Marathon, two-time Olympic marathon gold medalist and 37-year-old Kenyan long-distance runner Kipchoge won the men's championship with a time of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 09 seconds, and set a new record set by himself in the 2018 Berlin Marathon. The world record of 2 hours, 01 minutes and 39 seconds was set on the
The Berlin Marathon is Kipchoge's second race in 2022.
In the Tokyo Marathon in early March last 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.
In the 2022 Berlin Marathon, from the first 5 kilometers, Kipchoge showed an excellent competitive state. He has already left others around 12 kilometers. After 25 kilometers, the pacer and all opponents withdrew from the competition. Puchoge began to lead alone.
Since there were no pacers and direct competitors in front of him in the second half, Kipchoge's pace dropped compared to the first half, but his excellent performance in the first half was enough to ensure that he broke the world record.
In the end, Kipchoge 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 created.
Kipchoge once expressed his belief that his performance has proved to many athletes and the next generation of young runners that humans will one day run under 2 hours under the existing rules.
