Ethiopian Guye Adola won the Berlin Marathon on Sunday with a near-flawless performance. He took advantage of ideal conditions in the German capital to secure an impressive victory, although the exact finishing time has not yet been published. Tagesspiegel ↗
Attention during the race was also drawn to Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa, who was chasing the world record. She covered most of the course at a pace that gave her a real chance of surpassing the existing maximum. However, shortly before the finish she suffered cramps and began having significant muscle problems. Welt ↗
Despite the difficulties, Assefa continued and crossed the finish line in a time of 2:11:04. This performance represents the third-best time in the history of the women's marathon. However, due to health problems in the final kilometer, she ultimately did not threaten the world record. sport.cz - hokej ↗
The Berlin Marathon thus produced contrasting stories in the men's and women's competitions. While Adola got through the race without a decisive misstep and claimed victory, Assefa lost the chance to attack the record in the final minutes of the race.
The results confirmed the importance of the Berlin course for world athletics. Runners regularly achieve elite performances there, and Assefa's time ranked among the best in history despite the fact that she ultimately did not break the record.
