Pressemeddelelse fra Sparta Atletik og Motion
With a stunning solo run at Sunday’s Copenhagen Half Marathon, Geoffrey Kamworor, set a new world record clocking 58:01 minutes. By doing so, the 26-year-old Kenyan bettered the previous record set by his compatriot Abraham Kiptum in Valencia last year with 17 seconds.
“It is very emotional for me to set this record. And doing it in Copenhagen, where I won my first world title, adds something to it,” the three-time World Half Marathon Champion said after the race, which he won with a surprisingly large margin of 75 seconds.
The women’s race saw Ethiopia’s Birhane Dibaba Adugna winning in a personal best of 65:57 minutes.
