Athletics-Dominant Kipruto wins Chicago Marathon

Kenya's Amos ​Kipruto dominated ​the men's ‌race at ​the Chicago Marathon in two hours ‌one minute and nine seconds on Sunday, exacting revenge after his second-place ‌finish a year ago. Kipruto finished ‌91 seconds behind Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo in 2025 but flipped the script this ⁠time ​around, ⁠running all by himself through the final ⁠straight after a tactically flawless performance.

Ethiopian ​Tadese Bikila crossed the line ⁠in 2:02:56 while his compatriot Milkesa Mengesha (2:03:46) ⁠was ​third. It was the second marathon major win for Kipruto, ⁠who took the top of the ⁠podium ⁠in London four years ago.
