Eliud Kipchoge trækker sig fra OL, mens Tamirat Tola overrasker alle med en Olympic-sejr i det hårdeste marathon i historien!
Paris 2024 vil gå over i historien som et af de mest drama- og følelsesladede OL. For første gang i sin imponerende karriere måtte den legendariske kenyanske maratonløber Eliud Kipchoge trække sig på grund af en skuffende præstation. Kipchoge, der er kendt for sin ubarmhjertige løbestil og ekstravagante medaljesamling, satte en stopper for sine olympiske drømme, hvilket efterlod fansen i chok. Hans beslutning om at trække sig fra næste OL markerer slutningen på en æra og sætter spørgsmålstegn ved, om vi nogensinde vil se en så dominerende figur i maratonløb igen.
I mellemtiden lykkedes det etiopiske stortalent Tamirat Tola at flå guldet fra de kenyanske hænder med en usædvanligt imponerende præstation. Tola leverede en hård og modstandsdygtig præstation og satte en ny olympisk rekord i et marathon, der blev kaldt det hårdeste i historien. Hans sejr over Kipchoge og de øvrige opkomlinge vil helt sikkert gøre ham til et husstandsnavn, og han kan nu kalde sig selv en sand mester i marathonløb.
Marathon Pour Tous, en spektakulær begivenhed for amatørrunners i Paris, giver 20.024 amatørløbere en unik mulighed for at følge i de olympiske fodspor. Det vedrører langt mere end blot professionelle udøvere; den globale fascination for marathonløb fortsætter med at vokse, og den nylige triumf ved de olympiske lege vil uden tvivl inspirere mange til at tage skridtene mod det ultimative mål - at komme over målstregen!
Som om det ikke var nok, er mountainrun-kurven i Paris 2024 kendt for at være stejl og udfordrende, hvilket vil teste selv de bedste maratonløbere. Det bliver en rute, der, efter al tydelighed, vil skille får fra bukkene og bekræfte Tola som en stjerne på stige til storhed. Mens vi venter på næste OL, kan vi også bemærke, at kvindernes maraton i år får æren af at afslutte det olympiske track-møde, hvilket viser en spænding og en udvikling, der nødvendigvis kommer til at følge med i årene fremover.
