싱가포르 마라톤 대회 우승 케냐의 루크 키벳

싱가포르 마라톤 대회는 루크 키벳을 비롯해 케냐 선수들이 휩쓸었습니다

세계 챔피언인 키벳은 2시간 13분 1초라는 기록을 세우며

지난해 우승자의 기록을 1분 단축시키는 쾌거를 거뒀죠

2, 3위 역시 케냐의 쳅크워니와 마투이가 차지했는데요

5만 명의 대회 참가자 대부분은 뛰어난 기록들을 보유하고 있었지만

케냐 출신의 선수들이 처음부터 상위권을 내놓지 않았습니다

여성 1위도 케냐의 마사이가 차지하고야 말았죠

싱가폴 마라톤 대회는 지상 최대 레이스 중 하나로

나이로비, 홍콩과 뭄바이 마라톤 대회와 연계됩니다

[kenyansdominate] Kenyan Luke Kibet set a course record as he won a Singapore marathon dominated by Kenyan runners.

Kenyan Luke Kibet set a course record as he won a Singapore marathon dominated by Kenyan runners. World champion Kibet finished in 2 hours 13 minutes and one second, more than a minute faster than the previous record set by last year's winner. And it was a clean sweep for Kenya as Johnstone Chepkwony and Amos Matui finished second and third. In total about 50,000 people took part in the event, most of whom were fun runners. But the top athletes and the Kenyans in particular soon started to dominate. And it was Edith Masai, another Kenyan, who finished top in the women's race. The Singapore Marathon forms part of the Greatest Race On Earth series that also includes marathons in Nairobi, Hong Kong and Mumbai.

SUGGESTED VOICEOVER: Thousands of eager runners assembled on the start line on Sunday for the Singapore Marathon. In total about 50 thousand people took part in this race, a half-marathon and a ten kilometre race there. In the marathon itself most of them competing were fun runners, but at the top of the field were the elite athletes. It became clear from the start that in both the men's and women's race, it was the Kenyans who looked set to dominate. World champion Luke Kibet was in fine form, clearly liking the humid conditions. He had good support from his compatriot runners as well. In the end he went on to win the race in a course record time of two hours, 13 minutes and one second. That was more than a minute faster than the previous record of 2:14:22 set by last year's winner Elijah Mbogo. Johnstone Chepkwony and Amos Matui, both also of Kenya, were second and third. Kibet said afterwards he was pleased with his win. SOUNDBITE: (English) It was not easy, it was hard for me but you know I was communicating with my friends and I told them it is better we push and then we don't look at each other and then we say (inaudible)....I thought it was better to stay cool and then anyone can win the race. SUPER CAPTION: Luke Kibet, Singapore marathon winner In the women's race meanwhile Edith Masai - another Kenyan - took top honours with a time of two hours, 24 minutes and 15 seconds. Silvia Skvortsova of Russia and Kenyan Rose Chesire finished second and third behind Masai.
