2011 New York City marathon ryan sutter results, If Geoffrey Mutai had lived in 490 BC, the Greeks would’ve known they defeated the Persians much sooner.Kenya’s Mutai crushed the competition in the New York City Marathon on Sunday. He finished the 26.2-mile race in just two hours, five minutes and six seconds. That time easily beat the previous NYC Marathon record of two hours, seven minutes and 43 seconds set by Ethiopia’s Tesfaye Jifar way back in 2001.
According to ESPN, the marathon machine said following his triumph:
I am happy now because even although it was not recognized, I'm happy to be at that level. And I know one day, maybe I can come to do something. The course here, it was tough. But the weather was so good. I think I'll try to maintain myself to prove it right.”2011 New York City marathon ryan sutter results
Mutai is anything but a one-race wonder. This past April, he performed his own version of the Boston Massacre to the runners he smoked, recording the fastest marathon time recorded in the history of the world in just two hours, three minutes and two seconds. The time didn’t officially count as a world record, though, because the race ran straight and downhill.
In the 2012 Summer Olympics, all eyes will be on Usain Bolt and the 100-meter dash to see if the world’s fastest man can break his own historic record. While it’s more entertaining for the short attention spans of the modern-day human being to watch a 10-second race than a two-hour one, Mutai should be a headliner going into the London games as well.
The accomplished Kenyan who has yet to compete in the Olympics creates separation from his opponents at a Bolt-like pace and will be the favorite to take home the gold in the marathon next summer.
At 30 years old, Mutai would be considered old or at least aging in the majority of athletic competitions, but he’s without a doubt at the top of his game.
