SWEEPING UP MARATHONS
Steve Smythe,results editor
ALL over the world, Kenyans are dominating the major road races and marathons. They dominated Chicago, Eindhoven and even Yorkshire. If it isn’t Kenyans, it is usually Ethiopians. Unusually in one major event, though, the winners were a New Zealander and a Swede. That happened in Germany where Zane Robertson won the 10km in 27:28.
