Kimetto sets marathon world record in Berlin
Print Edition
DENNIS Kimetto set a world record by winning the 41st Berlin Marathon in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 57 seconds yesterday.
The 30-year-old Kenyan knocked 26 seconds off the record of 2:03:23 set by compatriot Wilson Kipsang in Berlin last year to become the first man to complete a marathon in under 2 hours, 3 minutes. Another Kenyan, Emmanuel Mutai, was also faster than the previous best, finishing second in 2:03:13. Mutai had run the fastest marathon in history in 2:03:02 in Boston in 2011, but it didn’t count as a world record because the course is considered too straight and downhill.
