Beograd, 05. april 2021. – Kenijac Gilbert Chumba osvojio je Comtrade Beogradski maraton u nedelju, završivši trku za 2:11:48.
Chumba je bio na putu da obori rekord utrke, postavljen od strane njegovog sunarodnjaka, Japhetha Kosgeia 2006. godine (2:10:54), ali je njegov tempo opao u poslednjih 2,5 km. Ipak, uspeo je da stigne do cilja prvi i osvoji titulu na ovom maratonu.
Ovogodišnji maraton je bio poseban jer su se takmičari pridržavali strogo određenih mera zbog pandemije koronavirusa. Pored toga, trka je bila manje posećena nego inače, sa znatno manje publike i atmosfere.
Chumba je izjavio da mu je drago što je uspeo da pobedi i osvoji titulu na ovom maratonu, uprkos svim izazovima koji su postojali. On je takođe pohvalio organizatore, volontere i sve koji su pomogli da se ovaj događaj održi tokom teških vremena.
