Fall in Chicago

Robert Cheruiyot beat fellow Kenyan Daniel Njenga, winning the Chicago Marathon yesterday. He crossed the finish line in style, slipping and banging his head. He was down for several minutes, then taken away in a wheelchair and left the area in a golf cart. He was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures.

Cheruiyot also won this year’s Boston Marathon.

Although Cheruiyot slipped before the tape, he did cross the finish line. It was a painful ending to a race in which he sprinted away from Njenga in the final stretch and finished in 2 hours, 7 minutes, 35 seconds. Good one!
