Ex-half marathon world record holder Kandie plays it cool
Kibiwott Kandie celebrates after winning the 10,000m race during the Kenya Defence Force Athletics Championship at Ulinzi Sports Complex in May last year.
In between that, he debuted in the 42km at the 2021 New York Marathon, finishing ninth in 2:13:43. He shaved his personal best time by a huge chunk timing 2:04:48 to finish sixth in Valencia and could go lower on the fast Berlin course on Sunday.
NMG in partnership with Turkish Airlines will televise the marathon live on NTV.
He may have run only two marathons before but former World Half Marathon record holder Kibiwott Kandie has said he will tackle this Sunday’s Berlin Marathon race with caution even though he wants to make an impression.
Kibiwott said that he was still learning how to run a 42km race that needed thorough preparations.
