Utvikling av verdensrekorden på maraton

I helgen var Kelvin Kiptum bare 36 sekunder unna å bryte den magiske to timers-grensen under Chicago Marathon.

Publisert 9. oktober 2023 i Løp/friidrett

Maratondistansen i friidrett var lenge betraktet som en b-øvelse der eldre løpere, over toppen av sine karrierer, skviste ut det siste før de la opp. Den tiden er nå forbi.

Etter at den 23 år gamle kenyaneren Kelvin Kiptum løp inn til tiden 2.00.35 er det ikke lengre spørsmål om noen vil klare å løpe under 2 timer i et offisielt maraton, men et spørsmål om når.

Om det skyldes inntoget av yngre talenter som tidligere retter seg spesifikt inn mot maraton, eller om det er de stadig bedre skoene som gjør at det går fortere er ikke godt å si, men nå er det bare 36 sekunder igjen til den magiske 2-timers grensen.

Her er en oversikt over utviklingen i verdensrekorden på maraton de siste 115 årene:
