BERLIN (AP) --- Guye Adola of Ethiopia has won the Berlin Marathon in an
unofficial time of 2 hours, 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
It's the 35-year-old Adola's second win in the German capital after his victory
in 2021.
Gemechu Dida Diriba of Ethiopia was second, 28 seconds behind, followed by
Gabriel Gerald Geay of Tanzania.
Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia was on course to set a world record in the women's
race. It would be the 14th time the women's world record has been set in Berlin.
Start times were brought forward Sunday because of high temperatures in last
year's marathon. Conditions were almost perfect with autumn sunshine and little
wind, though it was still warm.
