Paris Olympic Games: Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola won the gold medal in the men's marathon event at the 2024 Games here on Saturday with a new Olympic record timing of 2:06:26. Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge, who was eyeing an unprecedented third consecutive top finish at the Olympics, failed to finish the marathon.
Belgium's Bashir Abdi won the silver medal and went a step ahead of his bronze medal at Tokyo, while Kenya's Benson Kipruto bagged the bronze medal.
Tola had entered the ongoing quadrennial event as a substitute after team-mate Sisay Lemma was injured and has now gone to be an Olympics gold medallist. He has now become the fourth runner from Ethiopia to win the men's marathon at the Olympic Games.
