Marius Kipserem wins in a new course record of 2:04.10 (only four seconds behind the course record of rival Amsterdam), Özbilen falls short 15 seconds or so to break Farah's record.

2:06.18 for Abdi Nageeye, destroying his 2017 PB/Dutch record of 2:08.16 :yikes: 

 

Also, Koen Naert of Belgium obliterating his PB by well over two minutes to 2:07.38, only 17 seconds behind the 1995 Belgian record.

The Rotterdam Marathon today has claimed the life of one of the (probably) recreational runners :(

It was around 20 degrees and sunny, the warmest day of the year, which impacted quite a lot of people.

I just can't stop asking myself who's the genius that decided to schedule both Milan and Rome's Marathon on the same exact day?...:mumble::facepalm::wall:

 

by the way, this was a problem only for the tv networks, not certainly for the organizers to have a decent lineup, as in both races the course records fell one after the other...

 

in Milan, it was a well expected Kenian festival: :KEN Titus Ekiru won the men's event in 2h04m46s ahead of :KEN Evans Chebet (2h07m22s) and :KEN Edwin Koech (2h08m24s)...

meanwhile, the women's race was won by :KEN Vivian Kiplagat in 2h22m25s, with no other girl running under the 2h30min mark...

both times are also the new All-Comers Records for the Italian territory...

 

in Rome, instead, it was Ethiopia to grab all the honours: the men's race went to :ETH Zawude Heyi (2h08m37s, the only competition between Milan and Rome that didn't break the course record), while the women's event was won by Alemu Megertu in 2h22m52s...
