Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopia’s Athlete Tigist Assefa obliterates women’s marathon world record at the Berlin Marathon by clocking 2:11:53 to finish the race.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Athlete ran a staggering 2:11:53 to take over two minutes off Brigid Kosgei\u2019s world record of 2:14:04 from 2019.<\/p>\n

In her first race of 2023 and only her third marathon ever, Tigist Assefa charged to a massive lead and didn\u2019t look back.<\/p>\n

Assefa went out aggressively, separating herself from the pack after 15K and only continued to grow her lead.<\/p>\n

Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya ended up second in 2:17:49, followed by Tanzanian Magdalena Shauri in 2:18:41.<\/p>\n

It is to be recalled that Assefa’s winning time is the 13th world record to be set in Berlin, where she won last year in 2:15.37.<\/p>\n

In men’s Berlin Marathon, Kenyan athlete Eliud Kepchoge finished first, while Ethiopian athlete Tadese Takele finished third.<\/p>\n

Winning the Berlin Marathon for a record fifth time in a time of 2 hours, 2 minutes, and 42 seconds confirms Kepchoge’s status as the Greatest of All Time, it was learned.<\/p>\n
