Ethiopia's Tigist Assefa astounds the world, shattering the women's marathon record by over two minutes in Berlin, confessing, "I didn't expect."
The 38-year-old clocked 2:02:42 to win the race ahead of debutant Vincent Kipkemoi who finished second in 2:03:13 as Ethiopia's Tadese Takele completed the podium in 2:03:24.
“I want to concentrate and get all my experience from the 2021 and 2022 races and implement it in next year’s Olympic Games.
"I will try to be on the podium or even possibly make history as the first man to win three titles,” Kipchoge said in a post-race interview.
His first win at the Olympics was in the 2016 Rio Games where he destroyed a strong field to clinch the title and he went ahead to defend his title at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
