Let's see what it feels like for Kip George to break the marathon world record again.
This afternoon, the 48th Berlin Marathon (hereinafter referred to as White Horse) fired its gun and started. Coupled with the appearance of London Marathon and Chicago Marathon in the next two weekends, the World Marathon Grand Slam will open a "back-to-back" "three consecutive". Kip George, the "King of Marathon", returned to Berlin after four years, once again broke the world record of men's marathon held by himself with a score of 2 hours 0 1: 09, and won the fourth prize of Berma, but the only regret is that he still failed to "break two" this time.
The Berlin Marathon is a fertile ground for setting records.
Berlin Marathon is one of the six grand slam events in the world marathon and one of the two grand slam events in Europe (the other is London Marathon). Internationally, the Berlin Marathon is famous for its good results. At present, there have been 1 1 best results or world records (8 for men and 3 for women) on the Berlin circuit. So far, the three best results and four of the five best results of the best men's marathon have been created here.
Why did the Berlin Marathon achieve great success?
Why did the Berlin Marathon achieve great success? First of all, the temperature is more suitable, and the players are easy to make achievements. The average temperature in Berlin in September is 1 1- 19℃, and the temperature is even lower in late September, while the best temperature recommended by IAAF for running a marathon is 5- 15℃.
The white horse track is relatively straight as a whole, with small slope and small fluctuation, which is conducive to reducing the energy consumption of players. In addition, the Berma circuit connects the classic scenic spots in Berlin with the urban landscape, which gives runners a feeling of changing scenery during running and reduces the "aesthetic fatigue" caused by the same scenery. In 2003, the starting point and the ending point of the white horse were located at Brandenburg Gate for the first time, which became a tradition.
In 2020, because of the epidemic, Baima cancelled the event, so this year's event is the 48th. White Horse is a marathon Grand Slam event (six Grand Slam events plus the Olympic Games and the World Championships in Track and Field), and its prize money and ranking scores are relatively high, thus attracting many experts to participate. In 20 18, Kipchoge broke the world record of 2:02:57 set by Kimeto 20 14 in Berlin with a score of 2: 0 19, and won a prize of 30,000 euros for running 2 hours and 4 minutes, a champion prize of 40,000 euros and a world record-breaking prize of 50,000 euros, totaling/kloc-.
In the 2022 Berlin Marathon, Kipkog crossed the finish line. According to vision china,
Dominant Performance of "King of Marathon"
Kenya's 37-year-old Kippjorg, a two-time Olympic men's marathon champion, is regarded as the greatest marathon runner today. Won the championship of 1 1 in 12 marathons, and almost won all the gold medals in recent years. On the marathon track, Kip George stood on the altar and sought failure alone.
Kipchogg seems to be born for marathon. He is in excellent physical condition and has first-class cardiopulmonary function. He is 1.67 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. He has no excess fat on him. The IAAF named Kipchogg the "King of Marathon".
Kipchogg set a world record of 2 hours 1 minute and 39 seconds in the Berlin Marathon four years ago. The marathon "breaking two" is considered to be a great challenge to the limits of mankind, and even some sports fans compare it to the human moon landing plan.
Kipchogg is the first person in the world to run a full marathon in two hours. In the "1:59 Challenge" in Vienna in 20 19, Kip George crossed the finish line with 1 hour 59 minutes and 40 seconds. However, this achievement has not been recognized by the IAAF, because the competition environment, logistics supply and pace team do not meet international standards. But in Kipchogg's view, "If you finish the marathon in two hours, that's the real race. In Vienna, I made history, and in Berlin, I made a world record. "
At present, the biggest feature of Kipchogg is "selective participation and explicit performance". During his marathon career, he participated in 2-3 races every year, so he has participated in 18 official marathons so far. He won Olympic titles in Rio and Tokyo in succession, and now his goal is to collect six different marathon Grand Slam titles. With winning this year's Tokyo Marathon, Kipchogg has only two city marathon champions left, Chicago and Boston.
The only regret is that it failed to "break two"
This year, he gave up the New York Marathon six weeks later and took part in the Bermuda Horse which broke the world record (2: 0139) in 20 18. There is no doubt that he hopes to create better results, that is, break the world record again. In fact, at Kip George's age, there is not much time left for him to break the world record. In a familiar venue, there is a psychological hint of winning the championship and breaking the record. Coupled with Boma's advantage of "being in the right place at the right time", Kip George is more likely to break the record.
Kip George has kept his rhythm since the game started. He only took 59 minutes, 565,438+0 seconds in the half race, with an average pace of 250. This result is faster than his previous record of 2! Kipkog 1 hour 40 minutes 10 completed 35 kilometers. In the end, he kept his rhythm and set a new world record with 2 hours 1: 09! But the only regret is that I can't "break two"
According to IC photo, Kipchogg celebrated breaking the world record.
In an interview before the Berlin Marathon, Kipchoge said: "I believe I have proved to many athletes and the next generation of young runners that one day human beings will run for two hours according to the existing rules, maybe in Berlin, maybe in other places ... I didn't expect this race to run for two hours, but I will run a very wonderful race to inspire everyone and make more people fall in love with the marathon."
