Athletics: Kenya’s Luke Kibet wins Singapore Marathon in new record time
Channel NewsAsia - 2 hours 27 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: World champion Luke Kibet came out tops at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on Sunday, winning the men’s event in a record—breaking time.
The 25—year—old Kenyan crossed the finish line at 2 hours and 13 minutes — a minute off the previous record set by last year’s winner, compatriot Elijah Mbogo.
Kenyans also made a clean sweep of the men’s race, with second place going to Johnstone Chepkwony, while Amos Matui was third.
In the women’s event, another Kenyan, Edith Masai, won in 2 hours, 34 minutes. Russian Silvia Skortsova was the first runner—up and Kenya’s Rose Chesire was placed third.
A record 15,000 runners took part in the 42—kilometre race this year.
The Singapore Marathon, now in its seventh year, also broke new grounds with an estimated 50,000 runners taking to the streets in various events.
