Kipchoge clocks 2:01:09 for world record in Berlin Marathon

Associated Press  

BERLIN — He’s done it again. Two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge bettered his own world record in the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. I’m so happy to break the world record.” Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa unexpectedly won the women’s race in a course record of 2:15:37 – 18 minutes faster than she had ever run before. The Ethiopian great – like Kipchoge now – also set two world records in Berlin. Defending champion Guye Adola and Ethiopian compatriot Andamlak Belihu managed to keep pace, initially, but Adola dropped back a few meters as Kipchoge was clocking kilometer-splits of between 2:47 and 2:50.
