ATHLETICS How unleashed dog robbed Kenyan marathoner Ksh 1 million in Argentina
Robert Kimutai Ngeno went into the race with ambitious goals which were halted by a dog.
As Kipchoge clocked 2:02:42 to win the race, Kipkemboi clocked a Personal Best time of 2:03:13 to finish second. He entered the race without much hype but left the streets of Berlin having made a name for himself.
The 24-year-old, however, did not have any plans to dethrone Kipchoge since he was just eyeing a great race.
Speaking to Flo Track, he said: “When I was at the 30km mark, I was a bit tired but I decided to push myself extra hard. At the 33km mark, my body had picked up and that’s when I decided to keep going.
"On Sunday, I was not going to run against anyone (including Eliud Kipchoge) …I just wanted to run a good time and that’s what I achieved.”
