BMW BERLIN MARATHON, GERMANY
The 38th BMW Berlin Marathon lived up to all
expectations, with Patrick Makau (KEN) setting the
seventh world record in 13 years in the event writes
Pat Butcher. Makau first broke Haile Gebreselassie,
then took the Ethiopian legend’s world record with
2:03:38. One of the pacemakers, Stephen Chemlani,
hung on to finish second.
Gebrselassie, who stopped in discomfort when
Makau surged away, recommenced and briefly
reclaimed second place, but eventually dropped out
after 35km.
There was another Kenyan success in the women’s
race. Florence Kiplagat, the 2010 world half marathon
champion who had dropped out of her only previous
marathon in New York last autumn, was never
headed. World record holder Paul Radcliffe, returning

from childbirth and a barren two years competitively,
stayed with Kiplagat for 12km before gradually
dropping away. Kiplagat won by almost as big a
margin as Makau, in 2:19:44. Radliffe was passed by
the steady starting local hero Irina Mikitenko at
33km, and the German went on to take second place.
