Kenya: Goat Eliud Kipchoge Sustains Pressure to Win Historic Fifth Berlin Marathon Title

Nairobi — World Record holder Eliud Kipchoge had to dig deep into his energy reserves in the last seven kilometres of the race, as he clinched a historic fifth Berlin Maraton title on Sunday, claiming the crown in 2:02:42.

Kipchoge looked to have lost some steam towards the end of the race, but the 38-year-old, regarded as the greatest marathoner of all time, showed his fighting spirit and determination to successfully defend the title.

He now becomes the most successful male runner in Berlin, going one clear of Ethiopian marathon legend Haile Gebrselassie, with whom he was tied with four titles from the German city.

Despite the victory, Kipchoge sounded a bit disappointed that he could not achieve one of his targets, lowering his own World Record.

“I had started well but there were little bit of hiccups, but it happens in a race. I was expecting to do the same (break a world record) but it did not come as I expected but that is how sports is. I have learnt lessons, I have won but no World Record. Every race is a learning lesson,” Kipchoge said after the race.

He added that his focus now fully swings to next year’s Olympic Games in Paris, France.

Kipchoge said; “I want to really concentrate and put all experience in next year’s Olympics in Paris and win the third Olympic title.”

It had seemed to be a battle set when compatriot Vincent Kipkemoi started making ground on him, but once he emerged off the Brandenburg Gate towards the finish line, there was no denying the GOAT another crown in Berlin.
