Two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge bettered his own world record in the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. The men's record has now been set eight times in a row in Berlin, favored by runners for its flat course. It's Kipchoge's fourth win in the city, equaling the record set by Haile Gebrselassie. The Ethiopian great – like Kipchoge now – also set two world records (in 2007 and 2008) in Berlin. Kipchoge set off at a furious pace on Sunday, covering the first 10 kilometers in just 28:23 and clocking 42:32 at the 15k-mark, hinting at a sub two-hour attempt.
