At 8:10 am Beijing time on March 3, 2023, the Tokyo Marathon will begin. How did the top athletes Kipchak and Sifan Hassan perform on stage with the gathering of gods? Which Japanese athlete will run in 2 hours, 05 minutes, and 50 seconds to win a ticket to the Paris Olympics in the hands of the top scorer? We look forward to it for a long time..
3KM, the previously departing large force has already formed a division, and the current first group is marching in a queue of less than 10 people composed of Kipchoag.
In the top three positions are athletes Kipchak, Kipcmoy, and Kipragat;.
The camera showed Hassan and Kipchak from the first group of men/women performing on the same screen.
The contestants passed through the first supply point, and the first group suddenly decreased. Kipchak still led the team, which consisted of 7 people, including 3 speeders.
Seeing Hassan from the First Group, currently in the middle and rear positions.
The first 5KM of the Women’s First Group took 16 minutes and 16 seconds, with a total 10KM time of 32 minutes and 24 seconds, led by Sutume Asefa Kebede.
The man’s 15KM took 42 minutes and 52 seconds, with an average pace of 2:52 on the third 5KM.
Less than 18KM, the men’s first group now consists of six remaining members. Based on the current results, the estimated completion time is 2:00:35.
Nearly 20KM, Kipchak has started to fall behind, which may not be a good omen, but heroes may also age one day. This year, Kipchak has also reached the age of nearly 40, hoping for a miracle to happen. He can catch up with the leading Kipchak.
The men’s first group 20KM took 57 minutes and 14 seconds, with Kipragat in the leading position.
The first 20 kilometers will be divided into 5 kilometers, with an estimated completion time of 2:00:45.
The ranking of the top 5 Japanese athletes in the top 20KM shows that their predicted results are close to the 2:05:50 Paris Olympics qualifying threshold.
At 23KM, after the third turning point, Kipchak is now 200 meters behind the first group, making it difficult to catch up.
In the top 20 kilometers of the men’s first group, the pace continuously decreases every 5 kilometers of segmented time, with an average pace dropping to around 253; Kipchoag, pass half way at 1:00:34.
The men’s first group 25KM took 1:11:39, with Kiplagat leading and Kipchak already trailing by about 1 point.
The men’s first group is 23-27km, with a continuously improving pace per kilometer. Kipragat leads the race, followed closely by Kiprato, with a predicted finish of 2:01:27.
But at this moment, Kipragat’s expression was painful, and Kiprato behind him was constantly chasing and slowly narrowing the gap.
Arriving at the women’s second group, Renmei Niigata took 1:22:30 to complete the 25km race, with a predicted finish time of 2:19:50, which is 16 seconds behind Suonami Maeda who just broke the Asian women’s record at 2:18:59, almost hopeless.
There is still the final 10km, with Kipragat, Kipkmoi, and Kipruto marching in a straight line.
At a position of 31KM, Kipchak is about to be caught up by the Second Group.
The men’s first group 35KM takes 1 hour, 41 minutes, and 02 seconds.
At this point, Kiplagat, who had previously led, fell behind, Kipruto took the lead, and Kipkmoy had already been pulled away.
