Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa beats marathon world record by more than two minutes

Ethiopian long distant runner Tigst Assefa has broken the women’s world marathon record in Berlin by more than two minutes.

In a dominant performance, the 26-year-old runner crossed the finish line in two hours 11 minutes 53 seconds.

She smashed Kenyan Brigid Kosgei’s time of 2:14:04 set in 2019.

In the men’s race, Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, the greatest men’s marathon runner of all time, came first in 2:02:42 – more than a minute outside his own world record set in the German capital last year.
