Olympic Games 2020 - Tokyo

Postponed due to the pandemic, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Women's Marathon took place in Sapporo one year later, on August 7, 2021. Peres Jepchirchir led a 1-2 Kenyan finish in the women's marathon, withstanding the heat and humidity while running through the streets of Sapporo. The course started with two laps around Odori Park, then included a large loop (about half the marathon's length) through the streets of Sapporo, passing by Nakajima Park, Sapporo TV Tower, and Hokkaido University, and crossing the Toyohira River twice. The course then took two trips around a smaller (approximately 10 kilometres) section of the large loop before finishing back at Odori Park. Jepchirchir's winning time of 2:27:20 was not fast - 10 minutes off her personal best - but it was still a great result considering the conditions. The start or the race was moved up one hour, to 6 in the morning, to avoid the heat. The temperature at the start read 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 Celsius) and it climbed to almost 86 degrees Farenheit (30 Celsius) near the finish, with a humidity of around 65%. The weather appeared to take its toll on Lonah Salpeter of Israel late in the race. Among the final four with only four kilometers to go, she suddenly stopped and walked to the side of the road. She still finished but 21 minutes behind the winner. Jepchirchir's teammate Brigid Kosgei was second in 2:27:36 and American Molly Seidel, a relative newcomer in the marathon world, took home the bronze in 2:27:46. There were 88 participants with 15 that were unable to finish the race including world champion Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya.
