Sharon Lukdi broke the record for the Boston Marathon, and his colleague Kenny John Corrier joined his brother as a race champion on Monday.
Lokedi Outran defense champion twice Hellen Obiri, the last mile of a year after she lost the enemy race on Boyston Street to the same athlete in one of the nearest finishes in the history of the race. Lokedi ended in an informal 2 hours of 17 minutes 22 seconds – 19 seconds before Opery and more than two minutes faster than the former Boston.
In the men’s race, six months after his victory in Chicago, Kurir finished on 2: 04: 45-second, the fastest time to win the history of the race, as the contestants benefited from the perfect marathon weather to conquer 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Copley Square.
After crossing the line, Kurir was received by his older brother, Boston Wesley Corrier winner 2012. Although the race was won by a non -relevant pair of John Kielz and two Robert Sherwiot, the Koreans are the first brothers – or relatives of any kind – win the oldest annual world marathon in the world. Kurir ran without width of a bomb, and pulled him from a narrow dress for him walking on Polston Street.
American Konner Mantz finished fourth after losing a triple race with Alfons Felix Simbo from Tanzania and Kotot Kenya. Simbo was second and Kotot was third.
The race celebrated the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the revolutionary war. RENACTORS helped horseback, accompanied by Five and a drum playing with Yankee Doodle, starting the celebrations and adding a little symbols when the horse carrying a representative depicting the Revere was stumbling near the finish line. The actor had to jump and walk in the past few steps himself when the crowd laughed and applauded.
Marcel Hang from Switzerland did not have any problem completing the course, as it rose to Copley Square at 1:21:34 to get his eighth title in Boston. The winner won twice in Daniel Romashuk with more than four minutes on the fiftieth anniversary to push the pioneer Bob Hall to add a wheelchair section to the race.
“This means many to win this year, 50 years of wheelchairs in Boston,” said Hug. “For me, it will take some time to realize what it means, eight times it wins. It’s an incredible number.”
Susanna Scaroni from the United States won the ladies moving race for the second time, ending at 1:35:20. Its victory guaranteed that the Star-Spandgel banner will play on the day of Patriot, the state holiday that commemorates the first shots of the revolutionary war.
