Kipchoge Record: Berlin marathon's rapid reputation
Another world record was set at the Berlin Marathon on Sunday, with Eliud Kipchoge taking more than a minute off the previous marker.
Eliud Kipchoge put on a stunning performance on Sunday to smash the marathon world record by a minute and 18 seconds in Berlin.
The time was the biggest improvement on the world record for 51 years but it continued a recent trend for world-leading times being set on the streets of the German capital.
Including Kipchoge, all seven of the world records set since the IAAF began ratifying the markers have been achieved in Berlin.
The course's flat profile and favourable autumn conditions are credited with making the city an ideal location for quick marathon running and some of the discipline's biggest names have reaped the benefits.
Haile Gebrselassie and Wilson Kipsang are among the men to have preceded Kipchoge as world-record holders, making Berlin the place to be for the world's fastest distance runners.
