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.

Excellent run time. Good job folks. Told they might want to sit this one out due to temperature umm dont try running in Texas right now. Whew its hot down here!
These kenyans are taking over marathons, maybe they should stay in their own country running from tigers.
There are no tigers in Kenya, you moron.
There are no Tigers in Africa, idiot.
my god, i hope none of these people spouting racist crap claim to be christian...sad people
That's why they alway win. They have to be able to run fast to keep away from some wild animal that might make them a meal.
The mighty American, so scared of the world he shuns all others in attempt to remain blissfully unaware of the world around him. Grow up will you?
Tigers in Kenya?? LOL...all you Alaskans are so dumb just like Sarah Pailin. You might want to go reconsider educating yourself or go back to elementary school.
Obama must be proud.
Not of you.
Of what, exactly?
they should have to carry tv's during the race. They have different muscles in their legs than europeans so they can run away from lions. Jimmy The Greek says you take the biggest, strongest and fastest male and female of the species and you mate them to get the beat breeds.
Lol. Or give the other runners a handicap! Yeah they have good breading to run much faster and in longer stretches.
Some run from lions, others from creditors
False.
Football, basketball, etc etc etc that is to expect.
@ Blah blah the wheel's off your trailer- Obama DIDNT caputre any of those people, Navy Seals and military personal did, and Ghadaffi was caputured by that country's people NOT THE USA. OBAMA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH GHADAFFI'S CAPTURE LMAO you are hillarious, go fix your trailer wheels.
That's right. This guy got it done. Your guy didn't .
No president or ruler does the capturing moron! But it is the presedent who makes the call. Give credit where credits due. We wouldnt even be in the middle east if Bush hadnt made the call that there were "weapons of mass destruction". Hello...lmao
@mema....so I guess the killing of 500k+ Kurds was ok and we shouldn't free those people from their crazy ruler? Then why did we go free Europe from the crazy ruler that tried to take over Europe???? Ya maybe there were't an WOMD but he still needed to be removed from power!
The wheelchair athletes don't merit mention in this article?
Any of them from the Obama tribe?
OK! Enough of the lion and tiger jokes! Perhaps you people don't realize that some white men and women do win marathons too and break marathon records! Just give credit where credit is due and stop the Safari jokes!
Quote from Obama "I I Had A Son He Would Like Like These Kenyans"
Your grammar and spelling quality must match your IQ
Congratulations to the Kenyans. They do invest tons of time practising in very unwelcoming weather conditions. There are no wild animals roaming about in Kenya: They are all in protected zones.
Tigers in Kenya. LOLLLLLLLL. Maybe you should stay in your country and re-educate yourself
There are many theories about why Kenyans tend to run such fast marathons - here's a link to a 2003 article:

I bet Ann Romney has a better sprint time than the seven nannies and butlers Mitt hired to do her chores!
Lol now thats a excellent post. Well done.
@mema....typical lefty, it is ok to make fun of a republican but as soon as someone makes fun of Obama or any lefty they are racist etc! Grow a brain!
First we have Kenyans running the Boston Marathon, next they'll be running for president...oh wait!
