Kenyan athlete in the ongoing Berlin Marathon 2019 Gladys Cherono has just pulled out the race after getting injured along the race.

Cherono dropped out at about 32km for what looks like an injury with medical team turning out to give her attention.

Cherono was trying to break her personal best time and course record she set in last year’s race.

In the women’s race, Dibaba, Bekere, Chepyego and Tola are in the lead after Cherono dropped out.

The 36-year-old clocked 2:18:11 in winning her third Berlin marathon last year, which made her the sixth fastest in history.

The Olympic qualifying time for the women’s marathon in next year’s Games in Tokyo is 2:29:30, a target also shared by the home favorite Anna Hahner.

This year the Berlin marathon has already established a record with 46,983 runners entered.
