Medal record
|
Eliud Kipchoge (born 5 November 1984) is a Kenyan long-distance runner who competes in the marathon and formerly the 5000 metres. He won the Olympic marathon in 2016 and is the current marathon world record holder with 2:01:39. Kipchoge's world record run broke the previous record by 1 minute, 18 seconds – the greatest improvement since 1967.
Kipchoge emerged in 2003 by winning the junior race at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships and setting a world junior record over 5000 m on the track. At the age of eighteen, he became the senior 5000 m world champion at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics with a championships record, then followed with an Olympic bronze for Kenya in 2004 and a bronze at the 2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships. A five-time World Championship 5000 m finalist, Kipchoge took silver medals at the 2007 World Championships, 2008 Summer Olympics and 2010 Commonwealth Games.
He switched to road running in 2012 and made the second-fastest ever half marathon debut with 59:25 minutes. On his marathon debut he won the 2013 Hamburg Marathon in a course record time. His first victory at a World Marathon Major came at the Chicago Marathon in 2014. He was a three-time winner at both the London Marathon and Berlin Marathon between 2015 and 2018. Described as "the greatest marathoner of the modern era",[1] Kipchoge has won 11 of the 12 marathons he has entered; his only loss being to Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich at the 2013 Berlin Marathon, where Kipsang broke the world record.
Early life
Kipchoge was born on 5 November 1984 in Kapsisiywa, Nandi District of Kenya. Kipchoge graduated from Kaptel Secondary School in 1999 but did not run seriously then.[2][3]
Career
2002–2004
In 2002, he won at the Kenyan trials for the 2002 IAAF World Cross Country Championships junior race. At the World Cross Country Championships, held in Dublin, Kipchoge finished fifth in the individual race and was part of the Kenyan junior team that won gold. Kipchoge also won the 5000 metres race at the Kenyan trial for the 2002 World Junior Championships in Athletics, but got ill and missed the championships. At the 2003 IAAF World Cross Country Championships he won the junior race.
He set a world junior record in the 5000 m at the 2003 Bislett Games, running a time of 12:52.61 minutes. This stood as the world and African junior record until 2012, when it was improved to 12:47.53 minutes by Hagos Gebrhiwet of Ethiopia.[4]
In July he participated in the Golden League 2004 Roma Meeting. In the 5000 m event, he dipped first among the starters with 12:46.53, which made him the sixth-fastest ever in the event.[5]
Kipchoge won a gold medal at the 5000 m final at the 2003 World Championships, outsprinting both future world record holder Kenenisa Bekele and runner-up Hicham El Guerrouj (the world record holder in the 1500 metres and mile) by four hundredths of a second (12:52.79 vs. 12:52.83).[6]
Kipchoge later won a bronze medal at the 5000 m final at the 2004 Athens Olympics, behind El Guerrouj and Kenenisa Bekele.[7] He also won the Trofeo Alasport cross country race earlier that season.
World and Olympic medals
Kipchoge won the bronze in the 3000 metres indoor at the 2006 World Championships in Moscow. At the end of the year, he ran at the San Silvestre Vallecana New Year's Eve 10 km road race and he just held off Zersenay Tadese to win in a time of 26:54 minutes. This was better than the world record, but the time was assisted by the downhill course.[8]
Kipchoge won a silver medal at the 5000 m final of the 2007 World Championships at Osaka in 13:46.00, behind Bernard Lagat (13:45.87).[9]
During the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing, China, Kipchoge won a silver medal in the 5000m event with a time of 13:02.80; although better than the previous Olympic record of 13:05.59, it was not enough to match Kenenisa Bekele's pace, who won the gold medal for this race.[10] He failed to reach the podium at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, finishing in fifth place and he also finished ninth in the 3000 m at the 2009 IAAF World Athletics Final. On the circuit, he won the Great Yorkshire Run 10K and Campaccio Cross Country that year.
During the 2016 Summer Olympics, Kipchoge won a gold medal in the marathon event.[11][12]
2010–11 seasons
He made his debut on the 2010 IAAF Diamond League by winning the 5000 m Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix in a meet record time.[13]
Kipchoge then went on to enter the Carlsbad 5000 in CA, USA. The Carlsbad 5km road race is the venue for the world best times for a 5k road race for men and women respectively. The fastest to cover the track was Sammy Kipketer in 2000, with 12:59.5 min.[14] Kipchoge made a world best attempt and although he won the race, weather affected his chances and he finished in 13:11, the fourth-fastest ever for the course up to that point in time.[15]
In the first athletics final of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, he attempted to win the 5000 m Commonwealth title. Ugandan runner Moses Kipsiro held a slender lead over him in the final stages of the race and Kipchoge ended up in second place, taking the silver medal some seven hundredths of a second behind.[16][17] He flew back to Europe immediately after to take part in the Belgrade Race through History the following day. His shoe fell off in the first kilometre and, after putting it back on, he made up much ground on the field to eventually take second place two seconds behind Josphat Menjo.[18]
At the start of 2011, he won the short race at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country, ahead of Asbel Kiprop.[19] He attempted to retain his title at the Carlsbad 5000 in April but came a close second behind Dejen Gebremeskel.[20] In May he raced the 3000 metres (finished third) in Doha, with a time of 7:27.66 and ranked him as the 12th-fastest at the distance up to this point.[21] Kipchoge was chosen to represent Kenya at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics and reached the 5000 m final for the fifth consecutive time, although he only managed seventh place on this occasion.
Move to road events
2012
Kipchoge returned to the Edinburgh Cross Country in 2012, but this time he finished third behind Asbel Kiprop and Britain's Jonathan Hay.[22] He was also third at the Carlsbad 5000 in March.[23] He attempted to gain a place on the 10,000 m Olympic team at the Prefontaine Classic, but fell back in the late stages of the Kenyan trial race, finishing seventh.[24] A seventh-place finish in the Kenyan 5000 m trial race meant he would not make a third consecutive Olympic team.[25] As a result, he changed his focus to a half marathon debut and, after running a time of 59:25 minutes for third at the Lille Half Marathon,[26] he entered the 2012 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships and placed sixth.[27]
2013
Kipchoge opened his 2013 season with a win at the Barcelona Half Marathon in a time of one hour and four seconds.[28] Making his marathon debut in April, he demonstrated a smooth transition to the longer distance by taking the Hamburg Marathon title with a run of 2:05:30 hours—beating the field by over two minutes and setting a new course record.[29] In August 2013, he won the Half Marathon of Klagenfurt in 61:02 minutes.[30] Then, he raced in the Berlin Marathon, hoping to improve his 2:05:30 personal best from the Hamburg Marathon, and he finished second in 2:04:05, the fifth-fastest time in history, behind Wilson Kipsang, who set a new marathon world record. This made him the fifth-fastest marathon runner in history, in only his second ever marathon.[31][32]
2016
In April 2016, Kipchoge won the London Marathon for the second consecutive year in a time of 2:03:05.[33] His performance broke the course record in London, and became the second-fastest marathon time in history, missing Dennis Kimetto's world record by 8 seconds.[34] Later that year, on 21 August 2016 at the Rio Olympics, Eliud Kipchoge won the gold medal in the men's marathon in a time of 2:08:44.
On 20 November 2016, Kipchoge ran in the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon, winning the race clocking a time of 59:44.[35]
2017
On 6 May 2017, Kipchoge, along with Zersenay Tadese and Lelisa Desisa, attempted the first sub-two-hour assisted marathon, in the Nike Breaking2 project on the Monza Formula 1 racetrack near Milan, Italy. It was paced by a lead car and supporting runners joining in stages (both considered illegal under IAAF rules).[1] He finished in 2:00:25, while the other two had to slow and finished far behind. The runners planned even 14:13 5k splits to break 2 hours. His 5k splits were: 14:14, 14:07, 14:13, 14:15, 14:14, 14:17, 14:17, 14:27, and 6:20 to finish.[36] The 5k split times from 25k and further would be world records: 25k in 1:11:03, 30k in 1:25:20, 35k in 1:39:37, 40k in 1:54:04.
On 24 September 2017, he won the Berlin Marathon in a time of 2:03:32.[37] In rainy conditions, he finished 14 seconds ahead of Guye Adola who ran his first marathon. Adola set the fastest marathon debut ever.[38] Former marathon world record holder Wilson Kipsang and 2016 winner Kenenisa Bekele failed to finish.[39][40]
2018
Kipchoge won the 2018 London Marathon against a field that included Mo Farah (4 time Olympic gold medalist), who finished third with a time of 2:06:32 in his second marathon; Kenenisa Bekele (3 time Olympic gold medalist + World Record holder 5000 m and 10000 m); and defending champion Daniel Wanjiru.[41][42][43][44][45]
"Simply put, Kipchoge's performance today in the German capital is one of the greatest athletic achievements in world history. It certainly will go down as one of greatest spectacles the sport of running has ever seen, and will likely be a record that will stand for many years to come in the marathon."
Flotrack.org about his World Record run.[46]
"A 2:01:39 in the Marathon is like a Mars landing for Space travel."
On 16 September 2018, Kipchoge ran a time of 2:01:39 at the Berlin Marathon, breaking the previous world record by 1 minute and 18 seconds (2:02:57 set by Dennis Kimetto at the Berlin Marathon in 2014). He finished 4:43 min ahead of second placed fellow Kenyan Amos Kipruto. The World Record holder from 2013, Wilson Kipsang, came in third.[48][49] From 2003 onwards, all previous 6 world records in the men's marathon were set at the Berlin marathon.[50] Kipchoge began the race with three pacemakers dedicated to him. After 15 km in the race, two were unable to continue pacing him. The remaining pacemaker dropped out after 25 kilometers, leaving Kipchoge to cover the final 17 km alone.[51] Kipchoge accelerated, covering the second half of the race faster than the first half.[52] In sunny weather conditions, the temperature was 14 °C (57 °F) during the start and 18 °C (64 °F) when Kipchoge crossed the finish line.[53][54][55]
