41岁基普乔格墨尔本夺冠:2小时9分10秒创赛道纪录,时隔三年再尝马拉松胜利

据路透社10月11日报道,肯尼亚长跑名将、两届奥运会马拉松冠军埃鲁德·基普乔格(Eliud Kipchoge)在墨尔本马拉松以2小时9分10秒夺冠并刷新赛道纪录,这是他三年来赢得的首个马拉松冠军,也是他职业生涯第17次在马拉松项目上获胜。41岁的基普乔格上一次夺冠还是2023年在柏林。
东道主选手包揽男子组其余领奖台位置:澳大利亚的托马斯·多坎托(Thomas Do Canto)以2小时10分35秒获得亚军,里斯·爱德华兹(Reece Edwards)以2小时14分33秒获得季军。女子组方面,新西兰选手卡米尔·弗伦奇(Camille French)以2小时28分25秒夺冠。
这场胜利是基普乔格"两年跑遍七大洲"计划的一站:他今年5月在开普敦马拉松开启这一洲际征程,墨尔本是其中的大洋洲站。在马拉松历史上,基普乔格是奥运会双金得主、曾保持世界纪录,并以人类历史上首次在两小时内跑完马拉松距离(2019年维也纳挑战赛)闻名。此次在41岁之年、以破赛道纪录的方式结束三年冠军荒,显示这位老将仍在以自己的节奏延续职业生涯。

Kipchoge, 41, Wins in Melbourne in Course-Record 2:09:10 — His First Marathon Victory in Three Years
Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge, the two-time Olympic marathon champion, won the Melbourne Marathon on Sunday in a course record of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 10 seconds, Reuters reported — his first marathon victory in three years and the 17th win of his career over the distance, at age 41. His previous win came in Berlin in 2023.
Australia's Thomas Do Canto finished second in 2:10:35 and compatriot Reece Edwards third in 2:14:33. New Zealand's Camille French won the women's race in 2:28:25.
The Melbourne run is part of Kipchoge's campaign to race a marathon on all seven continents over two years, which he launched at the Cape Town Marathon in May.
