John Korir na Sharon Lokedi wametetea mataji yao katika Boston Marathon 2026 Jumatatu, wakiweka rekodi mpya na kusherehekea ushindi wa Kenya. Korir alishinda mbio za wanaume kwa muda wa saa 2:01:52, wakati Lokedi alitwaa taji la wanawake kwa 2:18:51.

John Korir alionyesha ustadi wake katika mbio za wanaume za Boston Marathon 2026, akifikia fukwe kwa muda wa rekodi mpya ya 2:01:52. Aliongeza kasi katika Heartbreak Hill akimpita Milkesa Mengesha wa Ethiopia, akivunja rekodi ya Geoffrey Mutai ya 2011 (2:03:02) na kuboresha rekodi yake ya kibinafsi.

Alphonce Simbu wa Tanzania alishika nafasi ya pili kwa 2:02:47, na Benson Kipruto wa tatu kwa 2:02:50. Korir sasa ndiye mwanariadha mwenye kasi bora zaidi katika mbio za marathon duniani mwaka huu.

Katika mbio za wanawake, Sharon Lokedi alitetea taji lake kwa 2:18:51, akiongeza kasi katika vilima vya Newton akijitenga na kundi lililoongoza. Loice Chemnung alikuwa wa pili kwa 2:19:35, Mary Ngugi-Cooper wa tatu kwa 2:20:07, na Mercy Chelangat wa nne, na hivyo Kenya ikashika nafasi nne za kwanza.

Rais William Ruto na Waziri wa Michezo Salim Mvurya wameongoza kusherehekea mafanikio haya, ambayo ni ya kwanza tangu 1996 kwa mabingwa kurejesha mataji ya Boston. Mbio hizi ni za pili katika ligi ya Marathon Kuu Duniani (WMM) baada ya Tokyo, ingawa barabara za Boston hazitambuliwi kama rekodi rasmi za dunia.

Korir alipata Sh25,830,000 (USD 200,000) na Lokedi Sh19,372,500 (USD 150,000).
