Athletics at the Summer Olympics – Men's marathon
The men's marathon at the Olympic Games in London took place on the Olympic marathon street course on 12 August, the final day of the Games. One hundred and five athletes from 67 nations competed. The event was won by Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda, the nation's first Olympic men's marathon victory and the nation's only medal in Kenya earned its fourth and fifth medals in five Games, with Abel Kirui's silver and Wilson Kipsang's bronze.
As is customary, the men's marathon medals were presented as part of the Closing Ceremony, which took place later that day, in the Olympic Stadium – the last medal presentation of the Games.
Summary
Stephen Kiprotich from Uganda won the gold medal — the country's only medal at the Games. Abel Kirui and Wilson Kipsang, both from Kenya, took silver and bronze respectively. Twenty athletes did not finish the race, which took place on a warm and sunny day.
The race started off slowly. In the first 5 miles (&#;km), Brazilian runner Franck Caldeira broke away on two occasions, only to get swallowed up by the pack. Between 10K and 12K, Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich moved to the front in a more serious breakaway. The large pack broke up into a small chase pack of eight runners, primarily East African. With a fast 7 miles (11&#;km), Kipsang Kiprotich opened up a gap of about 15 seconds, which lasted for the next 10 miles but never increased significantly. The chase group shrunk to Abel Kirui and Stephen Kiprotich, with Ayele Abshero just behind. While Abshero did not gain contact, the other three formed a lead pack. The two Kenyan teammates ran together, with the Ugandan trailing slightly. By 35K, the group of three had over a minute gap on the next competitor, Marilson dos Santos. At the 22 miles (35&#;km) marker, Kiprotich touched his leg as if he were struggling and he fell back a few seconds.

CHEBET WINS IN HONOLULU MARATHON DEBUT
by Chris Lotsbom
(c) Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved HONOLULU (Dec) –Chebet, 29, played the waiting game here today to perfection. With a steady rain falling at the start and high winds expected, Chebet made the conscious decision to tuck into a large pack along with Kenyan compatriots Paul Lonyangata and Joel Kimurer, as well as Ethiopians Gebretsadik Abraha and Yemane Adhane, among others. Chebet would not touch the lead until fewer than five kilometers h 14 miles, it was Japan’s Saeki Makino out front, a training partner of Japanese marathon star Yuki Kawauchi. After a opening mile, Makino ran through Waikiki all alone, rattling off mile after mile while a group of seven –including Chebet– established themselves more than meters behind. After cresting the Diamond Head Avenue hill for the first time, Makino’s lead grew to roughly 45 seconds. That’s when the chase pack began to chip away bit by ng halfway in a pedestrian , the chase group began pushing led by pacesetter Kimurer. In addition to Kimurer, Chebet, Abraha, Adhane, Lonyangata, Kenyans Nicholas Chelimo and Benjamin Kolum made up the group of seven. With a heavy rain picking up and winds gusting, the group of seven clenched their teeth and passed Makino just before 15 g compact, the leaders ran in unison. When one went for water, all went for water. When one grimaced as the wind howled, all grimaced, a matching determined look on all faces. Eyes were focused on the road ahead, deep in d on by slower runners going in the opposite direction, Chebet, Lonyangata, and Abraha ran towards the front of the pack. Looking at one another, no one wanted to test the waters and surge. The anxiety was visible as the group passed 20 a downhill stretch adjacent to Waialae Country Club at 22 miles, Lonyangata had had enough. Surging, the year-old injected a burst that was only matched by Chebet and Abraha. The rest of the pack was left behind May
