Patrick Makau of Kenya broke the world record to win the Berlin Marathon on Sunday.
Makau pulled away after 27 kilometers and finished in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 38 seconds.
Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia, who held the previous record of 2:03.59, pulled up after Makau’s breakaway and seemed on the verge of giving up when he stopped running and bent over, but resumed the race.
For several kilometers he was second, about two minutes behind Makau, but appeared to have finally given up before the finish.
