Boston, USA -The 112th running of the Boston Marathon cemented Robert Cheruiyot’s place in the record books with his fourth win in 2:07:46. And the women’s race also held something for posterity as it showcased the closest women’s finish in the history of Boston, Dire Tune’s 2-second victory over Alevtina Biktimarova (2:25:25 to 2:25:27).
Cheruiyot’s win means he is the first man to win Boston four times since Bill Rodgers did it in 1980. Tune’s victory promises, perhaps, the beginning of a similar stretch for the 22-year-old Ethiopian.
