Eliud Kipchoge breaks his own world record in the Berlin Marathon (NPR)

The Kenyan star clocked 2:01:09 to shave 30 seconds off his previous best mark of 2:01:39 set on the same course in 2018.

Kipchoge and Belihu completed the half marathon in just 59:51. He broke the two-hour barrier in Vienna in 2019 when he ran 1:59:40 in a race that did not conform to regulations. Some 45,527 runners from 157 nations were registered to take part in the first Berlin Marathon without restrictions since the coronavirus pandemic began. It's Kipchoge's fourth win in the city, equaling the record set by Haile Gebrselassie. The men's record has now been set eight times in a row in Berlin, favored by runners for its flat course. "My legs and my body still feel young," the 37-year-old Kipchoge said.
