Ethiopia ruled supreme again at the Dubai Marathon on Friday morning when their runners showed tremendous form and road running skills, to walk away with all the podium positions.
Ethiopia won all the top 10 spots in the men's category barring the lone Kenyan entry Samuel Kiplimo Kosgei who finished seventh in a time of 2 hours 06 minutes and 53 minutes. And, in the women's section, the story was more or less the same where Bahrain's Shitaye Eshete Habtegebrel, of Ethiopian origin, finished sixth with a 2:25:36 registered on the clock.
The men's champion this year, had the personal satisfaction of recording a personal best for himself when he ran five minutes quicker. He missed out on the course record here by a second. Richer by $200,000 for his gold medal this year, the comparatively unknown Tesfaye Abera Dibaba led the Ethiopian conquest, clocking 2:04:24, edging team-mate Lemi Berhanu Hayle into the silver berth. Berhanu who won the crown in 2015 crossed the finishing line, seven seconds adrift.
Results: Men (all from Ethiopia): 1) Tesfaye Abera Dibaba 2 hours 04 minutes 24 seconds; 2) Lemi Berhanu Hayle 2:04:33; 3) Tsegaye Mekonnen Asefa2:04:46; 4) Sisay Lemma Kasaye 2:05:16; 5) Mula Wasihun Lakew 2:05:44. Women (all from Ethiopia): 1) Tirfi Tsegaye Beyene 2:19:41; 2) Amane Beriso Shankule 2:20:48; 3) Meselech Malkamu Haileyesus 2:22:29; 4) Sutume Asefa Kebede 2:24:00; 5) Mulu Seboka Seyfu 2:24:24. |
