Ethiopisk triumf i Berlin: Marathonhistorie skrevet i hurtige skridt!

Berlin Marathon - Milkesa Mengesha - Record participation - Tigist Ketema - World Athletics Platinum Label

I den 50. udgave af Berlin Marathon satte etiopiske løbere nyt rekord i både mænds og kvinders løb!

Den 29. september 2024 markerede en skelsættende dag for marathonløb, da den 50. udgave af BMW Berlin Marathon blev afholdt med en rekordbesættelse af 58.212 løbere fra hele verden. Denne begivenhed er berømt for sin flade rute og hurtige tider, og 2024 var ingen undtagelse, da de etiopiske løbere Milkesa Mengesha og Tigist Ketema indtog førstepladserne i henholdsvis mænds og kvinders elitekategorier. Det var et bemærkelsesværdigt løb, særligt hustledet af den kommende Olympiade, som betød, at nogle af de mest anerkendte navne i sportens verden ikke deltog.

Milkesa Mengesha sejrede med en imponerende tid på 2:03.17, en præstation som selv de mest garvede marathonløbere ville misunde. Den etiopiske løber formåede at holde et konstant tempo og udnyttede sin strategi til det maksimale. Samtidig var Tigist Ketema også på imponerende vis i stand til at dominere kvindernes løb, hvilket satte standarden for kommende kvindelige marathonløbere. At se disse atleter krydse målstregen som de nykårede mestre var en fantastisk oplevelse for fællesskabet af både løbere og tilhængere.

I takt med at resultaterne trillede ind, stod det klart, at denne edition af Berlin Marathon ville sætte fodspor i historien. Det var første gang siden 2014, at hverken Eliud Kipchoge fra Kenya eller Kenenisa Bekele fra Etiopien deltog, og alligevel kunne cirka 58.212 deltagere udgøre den største skare nogensinde og give det hele et festligt præg. Med både mænds og kvinders løb præget af etiopisk dominans, var fansen ikke skuffet over at se to stærke præstationer.

Som et sjovt faktum kan det nævnes, at Berlin Marathon ikke blot er kendt for sine hastigheder, men også for den festlige atmosfære, som fylder gaderne, når løberne passerer. Desuden har denne marathon været vært for mange verdensrekorder, hvilket igen bekræfter, at Berlin er en ægte løbsdrøm. Faktisk har marathonløbet været med til at sætte otte verdensrekorder siden starten i 1974. Det er dermed ikke overraskende, at det gentagne gange tiltrækker de bedste fra hele verden!
