NOTE: Story by your editor in Tokyo –Ed.
TOKYO (14-Sep) — After two hours, 24 minutes and 30 seconds the women’s marathon at the 20th World Athletics Championships here had yet to be decided. Two of the best marathoners in history, 2021 Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and 2024 Olympic silver medalist Tigist Assefa of Ethiopia, had entered National Stadium with barely any daylight between them. It was anyone’s race.
“I was so exhausted,” Jepchirchir told reporters when asked to talk about the final 300 meters of the race on the track.
Assefa made the first move, passing her Kenyan rival on the backstretch, but she did not shake her. Jepchirchir stayed on her heels and tried to gather the strength for just one more push forward after running nearly 42 kilometers in hot and very humid conditions.
“At 100 meters when I saw the finishing line… let me try if I’m going to win,” Jepchirchir said she told herself. “Thank God that I managed.”
Rounding the final bend Jepchirchir shot ahead of Assefa who, despite being a former Olympic 800-meter runner with a 1:59.24 personal best, had no answer. Spreading her arms, Jepchirchir sailed through the finish line to win her first world marathon title (and her fourth overall world title) in 2:24:43. She had also won the world half-marathon title three times.
“I feel grateful,” said Jepchirchir, who thought of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games even though the marathon was held in Sapporo. “I feel good memories here; I was not expecting that. I love Tokyo.”
Assefa crossed two seconds later to take the silver, a bittersweet result for the former world record holder.
“I guessed that it would be all about a sprint in the last 100 meters,” she told the flash quotes team after the race. “It was the same at Paris Olympics when I also finished second and lost to Sifan (Hassan). But I don’t like to think I lost gold. I always try to be positive and think that I won the silver.”
How those two women arrived to the stadium together is a tale of two races. For the first 28 kilometers, American Susanna Sullivan ran alone through the streets of Tokyo. The main contenders were content to stay together and not push the pace, and Sullivan just wanted to stretch her legs and run her own race. By the 10-K mark (34:21) Sullivan only had teammate Jessica McClain for company, and by 15-K she was 21 seconds ahead of McClain and 25 seconds ahead of the main pack. Her lead over the main group would peak at 63 seconds at the 20-K point.
“The whole time when I was in the front I was just reminding myself that they are going to come back,” Sullivan said. “You have to run your own race and you can’t panic.”
McClain was rolled up by Jepchirchir, Assefa, Sutume Asefa Kebede of Ethiopia, Stella Chesang of Uganda, Magdalyne Masai of Kenya in the 26th kilometer. That group caught Sullivan, who had been on pace for a 2:25:00 finish, at the 28-K point.
“When they went by I kept it together,” said Sullivan, who maintained her pace.
It was at this point that the second race started. Assefa and Jepchirchir quickly pulled away from the others and proceeded to run from 30-K to the stadium side by side. They took drinks and soaked themselves with cold towels and sponges as they went, trying to stay cool. Like two gunfighters facing each other in an old western, the tension built and built until that final circuit of the track.
But the biggest surprise of the race would come later when Julia Paternain –a novice marathoner representing Uruguay who lives and trains in Flagstaff, Ariz.– tiptoed through the field from 15th position at 25-K, to tenth place at 30-K, to sixth place at 35-K. Paternain, who was born in Mexico but grew up in Great Britain before having a collegiate running career at Penn State and the University of Arkansas, moved into third position in the 39th kilometer. She had no idea where she was in the running order.
“I had no clue,” Paternain told reporters. “Around halfway there was a pack of maybe ten or 15 women ahead of me, and slowly that pack started to break up. I was just trying to make sure that my miles were consistent. I knew if I stayed consistent that everyone around me could do what they wanted.”
Paternain, who was running just her second marathon, entered the stadium a clear third and won the bronze medal in 2:27:23, the first-ever medal for a Uruguayan athlete at the World Athletics Championships. She did not realize that she made the podium, and wasn’t even sure if she needed to do an additional lap inside of the stadium.
“I could not believe it when I crossed that finish line,” she said. “I had no idea I was in third. I also wasn’t sure that was the finish line; I wanted to make sure. I was in so much shock. I truly cannot believe it.”
Sullivan finished fourth in 2:28:17, followed by Finland’s Alisa Vaino in fifth (2:28:32). McClain, who had run with Sullivan in the early kilometers, finished eighth in 2:29:20. Masai, who was contending for a medal late in the race, was forced to drop out.
A total of 63 women finished the race out of 73 starters, about the same as the 65 who finished in Budapest two years ago. The men’s marathon will be contested here tomorrow morning on the same course.

NOTE: Story by your eitor in Tokyo –Ed.
TOKYO (15-Sep) — On a sweltering morning here Tanzania’s Alphonce Simbu executed a superb come-from-behind sprint finish on the track at National Stadium to win the men’s marathon at the 20th World Championships in Athletics by just a fraction of a second over Germany’s Amanal Petros (both men were timed in 2:09:48). Simbu, 33, who won the bronze medal at the World Championships in London back in 2017, became the first Tanzanian man to become a world athletics champion in any discipline.
“I made history today: the first Tanzanian gold medal at a world championships,” Simbu told the event’s flash quotes team after his race. “I remember in 2017, at the world championships in London, I won bronze. Then I ran many times but never got any medals, so finally it is here.”
Simbu’s win came after a classic –and by modern-day standards slow– race of attrition. At the 07:30 starting time the temperature was already 80F/27C accompanied by 81% humidity. There was little cloud cover and the athletes began to suffer early in the race.
But the conditions did not deter reigning world champion Victor Kiplangat. The Ugandan put himself at the lead of the race early and was determined to control the pace. He was at the front through 5-K with Kenya’s Vincent Ngetich, Petros, Simbu, and two of his teammates, Abel Chelangat and Stephen Kissa. He was just feeling things out.
“It was my plan to let me push, checking on the guys to see how strong they are,” Kiplangat told Race Results Weekly. “That’s why I was pushing for some meters.”
The race quickly became a grind-fest. The next three 5-kilometer segments were passed in 15:26, 15:38, and 15:29, respectively. Kiplangat and the Ugandan team remained at or close to the front, but the pace was gentle enough that the lead pack at halfway (1:05:19) was a whopping 39 athletes.
Finally, the first big move of the race happened. Zimbabwe’s Isaac Mpofu decided to move to the lead, and the 5-kilometer segment through the 25-K point was covered in 15:17, the fastest of the race. Although the field was only running on pace for a 2:10 finish, that was fast enough in the hot and humid conditions to cut the lead pack to 26. That group included Italy’s Ilias Aouani, the reigning European marathon champion who ran for Syracuse University during his NCAA career. Aouani, who is trained by legendary coach Massimo Magnani, was waiting for someone to make a move. It wasn’t going to be him.
“I’m waiting for others to make their move,” Aouani told Race Results Weekly. “I didn’t want to be the rabbit to be chased.”
With the pace down closer to three minutes per kilometer, the lead group began to fall apart, albeit slowly. The next 5-K segment went into the books in 15:16, which took the group down to 23. That was still too many for Kiplangat, so he decided to take action. He surged ahead in the 32nd kilometer and by the 33-K point the pack was cut to 15.
But that move would take its toll on the soft-spoken Ugandan. He started to experience both leg and body pain, and despite leading at 35-K (1:47:47) he slipped to 13th by 40-K and 15th by the finish.
“The last six-K, four-K the legs were not feeling well,” Kiplangat lamented. “I was feeling some pain.”
But Simbu liked the pace, and before the race told himself that he would cover any and all moves no matter what.
“When I arrived here I told myself, I was not going to give up,” he said. “I just stayed with the group, it helped me and it ended really well.”
Finally, the key move of the race occurred. Chelangat pushed the pace at 39.5 kilometers in a bid for victory, and Simbu was one of the final six with a chance for a medal: Aouani, Chelangat, Petros, Simbu, Haimro Alame of Israel, and Yohanes Chiappinelli of Italy. Chelangat was done in by his own move (he would finish fifth), and Alame and Chiappinelli would also fall back (they finished fourth and sixth, respectively). That left Petros, Simbu and Aouani to fight for the medals, and they emerged from the tunnel under the stadium and onto the track in that order.
“When we entered the stadium, I was not sure if I would win,” Simbu recounted.
Aouani’s legs were fried, and as much as he wanted to win he just couldn’t muster a robust final sprint. He had to settle for bronze in 2:09:53. He became the first Italian man to medal in the marathon at a World Championships since Stefano Baldini in Paris in 2003.
“At the end the other guys changed the pace and I tried to stay behind them,” Aouani told Race Results Weekly. “But they were just better than me. Like, honestly, today I couldn’t get more than this (third place). I’m very proud, but the other guys were just better than me.”
Petros was sprinting furiously on the backstretch and Simbu tried to catch up. The German got a gap, and coming around the final bend appeared to have secured the victory. But Simbu rallied in the final 50 meters and started to close the gap. Petros gave it everything he had, even diving through the line, but Simbu’s torso clearly broke the plane of the finish line first, albeit by just a few centimeters.
“It was like a drama,” Petros told a group of reporters in English. “I was sure that I win. He was like five meters-something behind me when I saw that on the screen. He kicked like the last 5-K (meaning the last five meters). He surprised me like crazy. I’m a professional athlete so I have to accept it.”
Looking ahead, Simbu might turn-up at the TCS New York City Marathon in November. He competed in New York once before, but failed to finish in 2018.
“I got an invitation for the New York City Marathon,” Simbu said. “So now I will talk to my agents and see if it is possible to go because this was a tough race.”
– – – – – –
A total of 66 men finished today’s race (out of 88 starters), including the USA’s Clayton Young who was the top American in ninth place (2:10:43). The 2024 Paris Olympian was in the hunt for the podium through 39-K, but when the pace picked up at the end his legs would not respond.
“I left it all out there,” Young told reporters. He added: “I just didn’t have any pop the with the last 2-K, 3-K to go.”
