Both the men’s and women’s races at toady’s LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon came down to the very last mile.
Running in the cold weather that has become characteristic of the Chicago Marathon, Robert Cheruiyot of Kenya and Ethiopia’s Berhane Adere came away as the male and female champions.
Cheruiyot, the 2006 Boston marathon winner, just barely beat out fellow Kenyan Daniel Njenga, with a time of 2:07:35. Cheruiyot’s winning time was a mere 5 seconds ahead of Njenga.
In what was nearly a very tragic moment, Cheruiyot fell as he crossed the finish line and slammed his head into the pavement. (Video of Cheruiyot’s Finish Line Fall) He would eventually be taken off in an ambulance. However, race officials assured everyone that taking the champion to the hospital was just a “precaution”.
With only about a kilometer left, Berhane Adere beat out Russia’s Galina Bogomolova to win the women’s field in 2:20:42. Adere’s time broke the Ethiopian national women’s record.
As we have mentioned in previous race coverage, the Chicago Marathon is a part of the World Marathon Majors. Cheruiyot’s win put him atop the Majors’ leader-board.
American men Abdi Addirahman (2:08:16) and Brian Sell (2:10:35) both set personal records and finished fourth and sixth, respectively.
Romania’s Constantina Tomescu-Dita looked like she might not only wipe out the competition in the women’s race - but also set a new world record as she ran the first half in 1:08:07. However, the pace was just too much for the Romanian, as she faded in the later miles and eventually crossed the finish line in the 5th spot.

The Final Sprint
[…] Somewhat unknown until the 2004 Olympic Marathon trials, Brian burst onto the scene and shocked everyone by jumping to the lead. Although he ultimately finished 13th, Brian has gone on to make quite a name for himself in the world of distance running. Some of his career highlights include winning the 2006 USA Half Marathon Champs (not 2005 like I mistakenly mention in the interview), finishing fourth at Boston and then sixth at Chicago last fall.
