The 51st edition of the Berlin Marathon ended with Kenyan victories in both the men's and women's races. Despite Berlin's reputation for fast times, humid conditions meant no world records were endangered this year. Kenya celebrated a double triumph in the 51st Berlin Marathon on Sunday with first-place finishes in both the men's and women's races. This can likely be attributed to the unusually humid late-summer conditions in the German capital as Berlin enjoyed late-summer temperatures of between 23-29°C (73-84°F). As Ethiopia's Dera Dida closed in with the Brandenburg Gate in sight, Wanjiru dug deep, pushing on to finish just three seconds ahead of her rival.
