美国选手凯夫莱齐吉赢得2014年波士顿马拉松冠军。成千上万旁观者在场欢呼助威。去年举行波士顿马拉松时,终点线附近发生两次爆炸,导致三人死亡,数百人受伤。
自从美国选手梅耶1983年获得波士顿马拉松冠军后,凯夫莱齐吉是第一位获得这项赛事冠军的美国人。这位出生厄立特里亚的美国人跑过终点线时挥拳以示庆祝。他用两小时8分37秒跑完全程。这是第118届波士顿马拉松比赛。第二名肯尼亚选手彻贝特比他慢了11秒。
肯尼亚选手杰普图第三次获得女子冠军,并创造了这项赛事的新纪录:两小时18分57秒。比杰普图慢了一分钟的埃塞俄比亚选手德巴获得第二名。
今年的参赛选手大为增多,大约3万六千人参加了比赛,其中包括在去年比赛中因发生爆炸而没有跑过终点线的六千人。
Meb Keflezighi won the 2014 Boston Marathon Monday before thousands of cheering spectators on hand in a show of defiance to last year's twin bombings near the finish line that killed three spectators and injured more than 260 others.
Keflezighi is the first American to win the legendary race since Greg Meyer in 1983. Pumping his fist in exhilaration, the Eritrean-born Keflezighi crossed the finish line Monday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds. In this 118th edition of the race, he beat runner-up Wilson Chebet of Kenya by 11 seconds.
Kenyan Rita Jeptoo won the women's race for the third time, with a record-breaking time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds. Ethiopian Buzunesh Deba finished second, just over a minute later.
This year's race included an expanded field of runners - 36,000, to include about 6,000 from last year who were not allowed to cross the finish line because of the bombings.
