(27-April) – Sunny and a bit-very warm conditions in Ethiopia Vigist Asefan and Kenyan Sabastian St. The 45th edition of TCS London marathon was dominated this morning. Adidas sponsored two athletes won the late race, and Asstefan confirmed the expectant women, only the world record 2:15:50. He saw only running only in his second marathon, the second fastest time in the history of London’s marathon – 2:02:27.

Before elite runners, the Swiss Marcelame and Catherine Debrets, respectively, fled the title of professional wheelchairs. The hug beat his seventh marathon in London (sixth row), and the Debrues set the recording of the course and came in two seconds of his world.

Women start fast

Al-Tommy field was a strong competitor to record the record holder of Ruth Chepler, Jepchirchir (like Kenya), Dutch and former semi-Jepkosge. Kenyan Palmists Catherine Rilmers Amal’all and Gladis Chepru, the trio, was 5 km aggressively 15. On 3, they were all, Slivan Desan, Ethiopia, Chuni China was 50 seconds back. Scotland’s debutant Eilish McColman was working alone and the other seconds.

Leading four women stayed together 10 km (31:16) and 15 km (47:11). It was at that point that both Alemu and Hasan began to have problems. Alemu slows sharply in the next 5 kilometers (he will come out 25-K), and Hassan managed to maintain the connection through half a road point (1:06:40) where he was only ten seconds. Amanang’ole stayed on the front but Kepkuru went out before 20-K.

Since the race has made progress in the second half, Jeposge did most of the leadership of Asstefra, which works with his heels. Hasan fell away and farther each 5 kilometers and 1:10 returned to 30-K and 2:03 back to 35-K. He will start the whole second half and finish the third, 2:19:00.

Amanang’ole went out in the 25th and Asstefan and Jeposge ran together with 35-K (1:52:12). The couple together was merged together until Astefan was thrown at 5:03 (it was about 37 to 38.7 km) and broke the race. He was determined to not finish the second, because he passed last year.

“This seems to take a strong, strong race by Asefa,” said British Olympic Anna’s interpretation of global feeding.

It really was. ASSEFA drank his drink at 40 k in a liquid station, it is confident that he has an insurmountable lead. Only a world record of women was ice cream on the cake, and she fell on her knees after graduating. ASSEFA won a total of $ 305,000.

“Last year I had some of the chill problems with the cold,” Asstefan said with the help of the translator. “My bacon tightened to the end of the race. This year the weather was really good for me. “

Ephkhkhkheki, who was clearly fighting for the last 400 meters, was in the second place in the second place, 2. At 18. The fourth place fell in Desen, which was in the fifth place in the middle of the year, 2:19. To the 17th. Kenyan Veteran Vivian, who was a delay in an elite field, ended the fifth, 2:22:32 at the age of 41.

Returning to the eighth place Eilish McColgan set a Scottish record at 2: 24:25, as McColga’s record was a record by mother, Liz in 1997.

“I’m really proud to end today. It was a very, very hard run, “said McKolga in the mixed zone. “I started hot and paid the price on it. Too much learning, very, very steep learning curve. Yes, I can call me a marathon.

It was also noteworthy that Italy Sophia Yaremschuk 2:23:14 was set at 2:23:14, and American Susanna Salivan 2:29:56 half finished the tenth. Only 13 women (from 15 starts) have been completed in the elite women’s department.

The saw runs away

It was noteworthy how easily Sabastian fled the male title. Half of the Kingdom world ran to the champion with ten-hundreds-half packs, 1:01:30 looking very comfortably. Amenal Petros in Germany has joined him. Kenyans Alexander Mutiso Munao (race defender champion), Eliud Cipchogen and Timothy Kiplagat. Ethiopians Mengesa Mengesha, Tamirat Tola and Mohamed ESA; Ugandan Jacob Kipippo (making his marathon debut); and Dutchman Abdi Nagey. The group was held together with 25-K (1:13:00), and 30 (1:27:47) Only Esa was fallen.

Was at that point when the saw went to work. He smashed the 20th mile at 4:18 and ran from 30 to 35-K. It gave him 22 seconds in 35-K, which he would repeat more than double 40-K (he ran 28:16 30-K to 40). He sailed on the finish line that only looks fresh as he did after the first five kilometers. He ran to the thoughtful negative negative split 61. 30/60. 57.

“I was fine with this race, and that’s why it became easy for me to win,” said journalists. He won a total of $ 155,000 prizes and bonuses for 55,000 victories, and 100,000 for 100,000.

Behind the saw Cyprim ran a great marathon debut, watch 2:03:37, New Marathon Signs of Uganda. Mutison and Nagey were turning side by side at the great end of the race, and Kenyan simply floured the champion of New York’s city marathon second (two men, 2:04:20). Tamirat Tola, which rules the Olympic champion, completed the fifth, and won Kipchogen in London at the 40th age. Like McKolgan, he also won the British National Title.

Race organizers expect a record number of finals, 53,790 (Elite Plus massive race, combined). The entrance ballot of the 2026 race, which is scheduled for April 26, is already open.
