On March 6, Beijing time, the Tokyo Marathon officially started, after a tense and exciting duel, Kipchoge finally won the championship with a time of 2 hours 02 minutes and 40 seconds, and then I will take you to understand the specific situation. Win the championship again! Kipchoge hit the milestone with 17.4 seconds per 100m, breaking the race record!
If there are people who pay attention to marathons, I believe that everyone is no stranger to Kipchoge. In major international events, Kipchoge has won many marathon championships, and it can be said that as long as it involves marathon events, then Kipchoge is definitely an unavoidable name. Now at the Tokyo Marathon, Kipchoge has won the championship again!
This time Kipchoge won the championship with a time of 2 hours 02 minutes and 40 seconds, taking 2 minutes and 54 seconds per kilometer, and the pace of the whole process was quite balanced, and there was no situation of fast and slow. Based on a pace of 2 minutes and 54 seconds (per kilometer), Kipchoge took only 17.4 seconds per 100 meters, and such a brilliant performance also allowed him to win the Tokyo Marathon.
Some people may be surprised that the 100 meters with 17.4 seconds does not seem to be fast, after all, the men's 100 meters world record is within 10 seconds. But don't overlook one thing, that is, the marathon is 42.195 kilometers. This means that Kipchoger needs to maintain a pace of 17.4 seconds (every 100 meters) and then run 421.95 times 100 meters in a row, which is a very powerful thing.
Kipchoge's result is the third fastest in his career, and it is indeed a remarkable achievement to maintain such excellent competitive form at the age of 37. Although this result did not set a new career high, Kipchoge still achieved a milestone, that is, he successfully broke the Tokyo Marathon record, Kipchoge really brought a lot of surprises to everyone.
On the other hand, there was also a small episode in the Tokyo Marathon, that is, at the beginning of the race, a guide car took the wrong way, which caused the top runners in the front to turn around and return to the correct track. It may be harmless for the average runner, but for these top runners, even wasting a second is a pity.
If the guide car did not start with the wrong way, then Kipchoger's results should be faster, which is also a small regret. Fortunately, Kipchoge still showed great dominance and successfully won the Tokyo Marathon in a record-breaking manner, which is indeed worthy of everyone's praise!
Throughout his career, Kipchoge has pushed his limits. In 2019, Kipchoge also deliberately opened a "1:59 Challenge", as the name suggests, to run a 42.195 km full marathon in less than 2 hours. Kipchoge did exactly that, finishing the race in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds.
Because the track and the "rabbit group" (frontrunners) of dozens of people were carefully arranged at that time, this result was not officially recognized by the IAAF. However, Kipchoge still proves with practical actions that humans can really run a full marathon in 2 hours, which will also inspire more new generation runners to break through the limit, it can be said that Kipchoge has indeed made outstanding contributions to the marathon!
