Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge wins his first marathon in three years in Melbourne
Kipchoge is attempting to run a marathon on all seven continents over two years as part of his 'World Tour' campaign.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Eliud Kipchoge’s Melbourne win after a three-year marathon drought, and both foreground the significance of the result rather than race details. The Guardian US adds his quoted line about still peaking and notes that he broke the Melbourne Marathon record by two seconds, while Al Jazeera instead highlights his broader “World Tour” campaign to run marathons on all seven continents.
