Thanks to blasting the stretch between 30K and 40K in 28:22, Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia dispatched his rivals for a huge win. WCHOregon22
“I just missed too much time, I think, training,” Rupp said about a buildup that included a herniated disc and a mild case of Covid. “It’s been a very up-and-down last few months. I had to fight through. This was obviously a tough one. Proud of myself to get across the finish line.
“It was great,” Rupp said about the crowds in the city where he went to college. “Best fans here, it meant so much to me, hearing everybody out there, seeing familiar faces. It was very special running out there, for sure.”In great marathoning weather , the race started conservatively. It appeared that prerace talk about a championship record on the flat, three-loop course would be wrong. An unusually large pack passed halfway in 64:08.
Behind Tola, the eventual other medalists broke Levins and two-time NYC Marathon champ Geoffrey Kamworor. Abdi got a one-step lead on Geremew with a kilometer to go, but couldn’t hold it, as the Ethiopian kicked well to claim his second consecutive world silver medal. Tola’s win is the biggest accomplishment of his career, but the 30-year-old was hardly a slouch before today. He won silver in this event in 2017 and was the 10,000-meter Olympic bronze medalist in 2016.Scott is a veteran running, fitness, and health journalist who has held senior editorial positions at Runner’s World and Running Times.
