The world's fastest marathoner wanted Boston under his belt. The day had other plans

NPR  

The world's fastest marathoner wanted Boston under his belt. Kipchoge holds two Olympic gold medals in the event, four first-place finishes in the London Marathon, another four at the Berlin marathon and first place finishes in Chicago and Tokyo, according to reporting from GBH member station reporter Esteban Bustillos. He also set the world record for fastest marathon time, running a time of 2 hours, 1 minute and nine seconds in Berlin last year. Prior to the race that took place early on Monday, Kipchoge had said that while he didn't expect to break any records, he did say his plan was to "see self winning" Though he started out in the leading pack, conditions like wet terrain and strong headwinds are thought to have contributed to the world-record breaker dropping off around the 20th mile, following the missed hand-off of his water bottle. His Boston marathon time of 2 hours, nine minutes and 23 seconds was the slowest of his career According to NBC sports, His future plans include breaking an Olympic marathon record in the Paris 2024 games, as well as winning all six of the world's major marathons.
