Emphatic third triumph; Tadese goes solo from 5km - Men's Race Report, Rio 2008
Zersenay Tadese dominated today’s IAAF / CAIXA World Half Marathon Championships, taking a 21km stroll along the picturesque Atlantic coast of this ‘Marvellous City’ renowned internationally more for its slightly clad sunbathing beauties than athletics brilliance.
The manner of the Eritrean’s victory was a picture in itself. Tadese’s run was a solo venture of such athletics magnitude that, if transferred to the full marathon when the 26-year-old makes his first attempt at that distance next year, even the likes of Haile Gebrselassie and Samuel Wanjiru will have to take notice.
Tadese won the first prize of US$30,000 in a time of 59:56, nearly two minutes ahead of his closest challenger, Patrick Makau Musyoki (1:01:54) who was also silver medallist in 2007, with Qatar’s Ahmad Hassan Abdullah, the 2004 bronze medallist, taking third (1:01:57).
Unlike the women’s race, the team contest (maximum of five to start per team, with three to score) was not close with Kenya, first (3:07:24), Eritrea, second (3:09:40) and Qatar (3:10:52), third. It was Kenya’s third consecutive victory in this national contest.
