Kenyan men & women win, place, show at unseasonable Boston Marathon
The top three winners in the men's and women's divisions of Monday's Boston Marathon were all Kenyan, according to the race's website.
Wesley Korir, 29, was tops among the men with an unofficial time of 2:12:41. Levy Matebo, 22, and Bernard Kipyego, 25, finished at 2:13:06 and 2:13:13, respectively.
Sharon Cherop, 28, was the fastest among the women with an unofficial time of 2:31:50. Jemima Jelagat Sumgong, 27, and Giorgino Rono, 31, finished second and third with unofficial times of 2:31:52 and 2:33:09.
This year's Boston Marathon was held in abnormally high temperatures - so warm that race organizers took several steps to warn participants and allow those concerned about the heat to run next year instead.
The race, which began in 1897 and bills itself as the world's oldest annually contested marathon, is typically held in relatively cool weather. The average temperature for an April day in Boston is 47 degrees - with a usual high of 56 and low of 40 degrees - according to the city and National Weather Service. When this year's race finished, the temperature was in the mid-70s.
With its rolling hills, the Hopkinton-to-Boston course is often considered among the nation's most grueling marathons even in ideal racing conditions.

If obummer had a son he'd look just like him.
Too bad your son looks like your sister!
There is a punchline in here somewhere. I can feel it.
Kenya believe it? Another sweep!
It was so hot, runners were wearing marathongs?
The Korir, the Korir...
Nice Job My Friend!!!
Kenyan Sweep! Next one in November 2012!
At least you admit he is from Kenya
southerners/tea baggers are animals in human form
Best Comment!
Well stated!
Is this going to be another stand your ground? "I mean these people were attacking me and I felt threatened so I shot them all as I felt threatened". Your can't cry self defense or use the stand your ground when your the aggressor.
Agree! But what is outrageous about these teabaggers is they're saying that blacks are convicting Zimmerman while none of them were at the scene of the crime! Duhhhhhh! Perhaps these teabaggers don't realize that 100% of jurors in all murder cases were never at the scene of the crime either! But yet they cast votes to convict based on the evidents presented! And so far, what the police and Zimmerman have presented to the public is enough to convict and execute him for first degree manslaughter!
Good posts. I am in total agreement. Wouldnt it be fair to say the victim was also standing his ground!
@KLee....Proof read before posting! IDIOT! This has NOTHING to do with that case so move on! Same to the people that replied to KLee, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, this is about athletes!!!
Bring back Alberto Salazar!
WOOPS Wrong Story. Sorry
wow...maybe you can read!
It's unfair. The Kenyans put hot coals in their shoes, thus quickening their pace.
^^ignorance at its finest
When they started the race it was in the 70's, but it's in the mid to upper 80s at the finish line now. Just exceptional times for this heat.
white guys " ah damn it, whats the point in running now?" sorry, not to be, well negative but this isnt the olympics it is the BOSTON marathon. i say you should be an american citizen to run in it!
The picture shows white folk at the start of the race. To see the end of the race just use white out on the same pic.
Reblogged this on The Trough.
Reblog what?
you don't get it I reblogged this from Time or CNN and it displays that. You don't have to do anything unless you want to read the full story then click on the link
Kenyans are great at running, just not a country.
Obama must be proud, his homeland is the best at running, just like he is the best at running his mouth and accomplishing nothing!!!
@ Devosays
You said Obama hasn't accomplished anything? Really? You mean like Obama got Osama...Check! Obama got Ghadaffi...Check! Obama got Awalaki...Check! End of the Iraqi war...Check! Unemployment rate decreasing, jobs increasing, the Big Three profitting, the American economy stabilizing...Check! America's image has been restored worldwide...Check! And so on and so on and so on! You said something to the effect of Obama hasn't accomplished anything? Duhhhhh! Obama/Biden 2012!
And conservative m o r o n s are good at showing their stupidity every chance they get.
You have to run fast to stay ahead of the lions chasing you.
I could have told you a Kenyan would have won both last week.
