Marathon GOAT Eliud Kipchoge’s world record bid cruelled by taking a wrong turn

Kipchoge won the race in 2hr 2min 40sec, the fourth-fastest time in history, to give him victories in four of the world’s six major marathons.

But Kipchoge was unable to beat the 2:01.39 he clocked at the 2018 Berlin marathon, hindered partly by a wrong turn around the 10-kilometre mark that cost him valuable seconds.

Why We Have No Choice But to Root for Eliud Kipchoge, the Marathon King

Kipchoge at the 2022 Tokyo Marathon won in a time of 2:02:40 and that includes a wrong turn he made!!
