Despite missing out on the world record, Eliud Kipchoge will still go back home with a smile on his face since he will receive a fat paycheck.
Four-time London Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge went into the 2023 edition of the Berlin Marathon with lofty ambitions but missed out on achieving some of his targets.
Kipchoge wanted to set another world record but missed it after clocking 2:02:42 to win the race. Debutant Vincent Kipkemoi finished second in 2:03:13 as Ethiopia's Tadese Takele completed the podium in 2:03:24.
