Real Cyclists

From Daily Mail | September 29, 2013

 

Wilson Kipsang of Kenya won the Berlin Marathon in a stunning fashion - he broke the world record in a marthon finish shaving  off 15 seconds from the world record.  He finished with a time of  2 hours, 3 mintues and 23 seconds.  The previous world record was set by compatriot Patrick Makau in 2011 also in Berlin. ( 2 hours 3 minutes 42 seconds)

He crossed the finish line ahead of compatriots:   Eliud Kipchoge (2:04: 05) and Geoffrey Kipsang (2:06:26)

When I was crazy about long distance running, the WR for marathon was at 2:06.  Only the whites figured prominently as champions.  But lately Kenyans have dominated the marathon  and middle distance running

This is good news for Kenya which had figured in world news because of the  in Westgate Mall massacre by the terrorist group Al Shabab.
