Ethiopia’s Guye Adola wins Berlin Marathon

Ethiopia’s Guye Adola won the men’s Berlin Marathon yesterday with compatriot Kenenisa Bekele, finishing third.

Adola won in an official time of two hours, five minutes, 45 seconds well short of the world record of 2:01:39 set in the German capital three years ago.

Bekele, the 2016 and 2019 winner in Berlin, had been attempting to break his personal best when he came within two agonizing seconds but ended up settling for third as he finished one minute, two seconds behind Adola.
