Dennis Kimetto won the Tokyo Marathon in a race record Sunday. The world record is next, he says.
Kimetto led a Kenyan sweep of the podium by taking the tape in 2 hours, 6 minutes, 50 seconds, rewriting Viktor Rothlin's 2008 mark by 33 seconds.
Aberu Kebede of Ethiopia won the women's race in 2:25:34 as the Tokyo Marathon debuted as part of the World Marathon Majors tour alongside Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.
