World record holder Eliud Kipchoge on Sunday, March 6, stunned the world yet again after dominating the 2021 Tokyo Marathon by setting the fastest time ever in Japan’s history.
Kipchoge, 37, crossed the finish line at 2:02:40 head of compatriot Amos Kipruto who came second at 2:03:13, while Ethiopia’s Tamirat Tola rounded up the top three with a 2:04:14 timeline.
“I am so proud to win in the streets of Tokyo, where the people have running in their heart and minds. It’s great to now have won 4 out of the 6 Abbott World Marathon Major races. Finally, I want to say I want this world to unite. My win today is to bring positivity in this world,” Kipchoge stated minutes after winning the race.
The legendary athlete began the race at an immense pace- setting the stage for a world record run but unfortunately a wrong turn in the third 5 kilometre section saw his pace slightly drop. Seemingly unfazed by the event, Kipchoge ran on course and maintained his impressive form in order to emerge victoriously.
