This video clip shows the final minutes of the race as leader Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia was repeatedly pestered by Wanjiru's persistence. The Kenyan took the lead in the final 400 meters to clock 2 hours, 6 minutes, 24 seconds and defend his title in Chicago where he had set the course record of 2 hours, five minutes, 41 seconds in 2009. Tragically, six months later Wanjiru was dead as a result of a domestic dispute back home in Kenya and a fall or jump from a balcony.
NOTE: You can see Wanjiru's post-victory interview HERE:

Yes. You're correct. Sammy had decided the marathon was too easy for him so he opted to add a bunch of unnecessary muscle mass so he could run slower and give the other guys a chance.

This must be one of the most exciting marathon ever. He was the G.O.A.T. before Eliud Kipchoge. Kelvin Kiptum broke the world record in Chicago last October. Chicago was the last marathon race for both Kamau and Kiptum. They both died at 24 and they both revolutionized marathon running.

@thepsychologist8159 2 года назад

It's refreshing to see such an established distance runner with a low arm swing. It reminds me of the technique used be Rob de Castella back in the 80's. These days (especially) most have a high arm swing. Personally I use a low arm swing as I feel it conserves energy and helps me to maintain a high cadence.

@plantbased5673 5 лет назад

To me this is more impressive than the world record in the 100 meters. How is it humanly possible for a man to run that far and then sprint like that at the end? Although, the prospect of winning $500,000 would definitely give him the incentive to run faster. Being from a country where the average monthly wage is less than $100, he could live like a king.

Arguably, Sammy Wanjiru's death at the time it was, was the single greatest blow to marathon, and long distance running, that has ever been. Had he still been alive, kicked alcohol and stayed injury free: there is a strong chance from what I have read and seen that it would have been Wanjiru, and not Eliud Kipchoge, that would have set the current world records and broken 1:59 first. To the memory of the troubled, yet incredible, Wanjiru. You will not be forgotten.

@HANDOLOH 6 лет назад

Arguably my best marathoner at the time. I unfortunately wasn't aware of his indiscipline off the track. By indiscipline l mean drinking,not women, as in Kenya polygamy is accepted by law.

@HANDOLOH 5 лет назад

It's indiscipline for a runner to drink heavily it just doesn't go together! However l could put it in a different way.. most likely he had made the money and wasn't interested to compete anymore. With drinking he wouldn't have made it against other athletes it can't work. Likely the woman took advantage when he was drunk to plan his death.
