AI MODIFIEDTVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Berlin Marathon: Assefa narrowly misses world record – cramps stop her in the final meters.
She was inching along on world-record pace, the finish line in sight, the clock ticking along – then came the collapse. Ethiopian Tigst Assefa narrowly missed the world record at the Berlin Marathon. Muscle cramps in the final kilometer threw her back. In the end, it was at least enough for the course record in Berlin – and for a victory that still tastes of a missed sensation.
Assefa is one of the fastest marathon runners in the world. In Berlin, on one of the fastest courses on the circuit, the historic limit actually seemed within reach this time – until her body threw a wrench in the works.
What happened at the Berlin Marathon
According to the Spiegel, Assefa was on world-record pace under "near-optimal conditions." As the Zeit reports, for a long time it looked "as if a new marathon world record would be set in Berlin" – but then the Ethiopian was hit by muscle cramps. Focus specifies: the cramps occurred in the final kilometer and cost Assefa the record. The Spiegel adds that she "still suffered her way to the course record."
In the men's race, meanwhile, Guye Adola prevailed, as the Zeit notes. German hope Esther Pfeiffer, on the other hand, had to abandon her pursuit of the German record early – her race ended prematurely according to Focus.
