Korir e Lokedi defendem seus títulos na Maratona de Boston de 2026

John Korir e Sharon Lokedi defenderam seus títulos na Maratona de Boston de 2026 nesta segunda-feira, estabelecendo novos recordes e celebrando um triunfo queniano. Korir venceu a prova masculina em 2:01:52, enquanto Lokedi conquistou a coroa feminina em 2:18:51.

John Korir exibiu seu talento na Maratona de Boston de 2026, cruzando a linha de chegada com um novo tempo recorde de 2:01:52. Ele acelerou na Heartbreak Hill para ultrapassar o etíope Milkesa Mengesha, superando o recorde do percurso de 2:03:02, estabelecido por Geoffrey Mutai em 2011, e melhorando sua marca pessoal.

O tanzaniano Alphonce Simbu terminou em segundo com 2:02:47, com Benson Kipruto em terceiro em 2:02:50. Korir é agora o maratonista mais rápido do mundo neste ano.

Na prova feminina, Sharon Lokedi defendeu seu título com 2:18:51, disparando nas colinas de Newton para se distanciar do grupo líder. Loice Chemnung ficou em segundo com 2:19:35, Mary Ngugi-Cooper em terceiro com 2:20:07 e Mercy Chelangat em quarto, garantindo ao Quênia as quatro primeiras posições.

O presidente William Ruto e o ministro do Esporte, Salim Mvurya, lideraram as celebrações por essas conquistas, as primeiras defesas de título em Boston desde 1996. A corrida é a segunda da série World Marathon Majors (WMM) após Tóquio, embora as estradas de Boston não se qualifiquem para recordes mundiais oficiais.

Korir ganhou Sh25.830.000 (US$ 200.000) e Lokedi Sh19.372.500 (US$ 150.000).
