Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge won the highly-billed Berlin Marathon, missing the world record by a mere 37 seconds under wet weather conditions in the Germany city.
Kipchoge breasted the tape in 2:03:34 falling short of his target of erasing his compatriots Dennis Kimetto’s world mark of 2:02:57 that was set exactly three years ago on the same course.
Kipochopge was however given a run for his money in the last few kilometers of the race by debut Guye Adola of Ethiopia whom he was only able to shake off with two kilometer to go. Adola finished second in 2:03:47.
