Kenyans on Sunday monopolised both men’s and women’s podium positions at the Singapore Marathon where more than 50,000 participants took part.

Kenyans not only swept the podium elite race categories at the Marathon but did an unprecedented 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17 clean sweep in the men’s race.

Joshua Kipkorir clocked 2 hours 12 minutes and 12 seconds to win the race ahead of compatriots Felix Kirwa and Andrew Kimtai who came in second (2:13:42)and third (2:14:29) respectively.

Cosmas Matolo Muteti crossed the finish line fourth in 2:15:42 to lead Gilbert Yegon and Kibet Collins to top five podium sweep before Dominic Ruto, Paul Matheka and Benson Kinutai closed in on the 10 extraordinary sweep.

“This is my first time here. I like the course, it’s very nice. I have no problems with the heat,” 24 year old Kipkorir said.

In the women’s category, 38-year-old Priscah Cherono broke away at the 40km mark to also finish in the second-fastest timing in the race’s history, clocking 2:32:12 to edge out compatriots Stella Barsosio (2:33:22) and Jane Jelagat (2:35:37).

Chernono said after her victory, “Yesterday was so hot, but today the conditions were good. I am so happy I won the race. I came to this race and I prepared myself, so now I’m dreaming”.

Kipkorir and Cherono will pocket US$50,000 (Sh5.1million) each.




Clean 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17 sweep for Kenya at Singapore Marathon
 
Tz hatujakuwepo huko au ndio ilishabaki historia.???
 
Hata tukajiuzulu watani wetu hawataonekana hata kuvuta mkia.
 
I stayed up till 2 am watching the race.

The winner, Kipkorir, is a legend in the making. At 24 years, he already has a few gold medals under his belt.
In marathon, unlike other race events, you get better with age.
Kipkorir will possibly break the world record in ten years or less. He missed the Singapore course record by less than a minute.
 
Tuwashawishi hawa jirani fukuza upepo,kwa mafanikio zaidi;kabla ya kwenda kwenye mashindano waje huku kwetu kumsalimia Mkulu wetu,awape baraka zake. Watashinda wote
 
Hongera yao! Lakini na wewe, umeshindwa kuandika kuwa wameshika nafasi ya 1-17,au nafasi ya kwanza mpaka ya kumi na saba badala ya hayo manamba?
