Eliud Kipchoge wins Berlin Marathon with Malfunction shoe

Eliud Kipchoge

Eliud Kipchoge is one guy who will make me get glued into watching Tv to see him doing what he loves doing ,Marathon running. 

Eliud has being a person who likes pushing all the way but few times i saw him losing 5000m races at the last finales meters to Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele and El Guerrouj with a laughing smile as he knows he had given all he can.

Bekele has dined Eliud Kipchoge a win  twice, 2006 in door world championship in Moscow and 2008 summer Olympics in Beijng, while his country man Bernard Lagat dined him at world championship 2007 in Osaka, Japan, but he was world champion in 2003 when he was only 18 years old.

His debut in marathon was in 2013, hamburg Marathon which he won in time of 2:05.30. He has taken place in five other marathon races which he won four of the and finished at second place in 2013 Berlin Marathon behind his countryman Wilson Kipsang who also set a world record of 2:03.23.

His latest win was in Berlin Marathon where not only won but set his personal best of 2:04.00, this was short of what alto of people expected of him shattering the world record which his country men Emmanuel Mutai and Geoffrey Mutai had said was at watch.

Eliud blamed malfuntional of his Nike shoes, he said he had problem with his shoes inner sole from the first kilometre, the sole could be seen slowly sliding out, but with all the mishaps, Kipchoge went ahead and won in a personal best, maybe if the shoes issues never raised, a new world record was around the corner.

The 2:04.00 he run was his best ever having slashed five seconds again done in Berlin, its also the ninth best performance on a record valid course.
