24 hours after he had stood on the startline of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, Kenenisa Bekele reflected on the dramatic events of Sunday's race where he trailed in third with a time of 2:06:47, albeit set in hot and humid conditions. After pre-race talk of high hopes for an attack on Eliud Kipchoge's world record of 2:01:39, set on this same Berlin course in 2018, the Ethiopian's career appeared to be in the balance and not for the first time given his age and injury record. But at 39 he is adamant that his potential for future success is realistic. Right after the race Kenenisa Bekele admitted that "for me the big problem was a lack of training because of the pandemic". The Ethiopian also said that he caught COVID earlier this year. But he had no strong symptoms and recovered well.

No doubt about who carried off the top honours in the BMW Berlin-Marathon on Sunday since Ethiopians won the men's and women's title. It was, however, a day of disappointment for Kenenisa Bekele by his own superlative standards. Guye Adola won the men's crown, running 2:05:45 to finish ahead of Kenyan Bethwel Yegon, the latter clocking 2:06:14 at the finish line near the Brandenburg Gate. As for Kenenisa Bekele, his hopes of challenging the world record, set on this same course by his Kenyan rival Eliud Kipchoge in 2018 with 2:01:39, faded in increasingly warm and humid conditions. Ethiopia's triple Olympic champion finished third in 2:06:47.
