Simba pulled out the gold of the marathon from Petros — the photorefinish confirmed

Alfons Felix Simbu won gold at the first photo finish at the large championship in Marathon on Monday. He was ahead of the German Amanal Petros in a dramatic race and provided Tanzania for the title of world champion.

Photo-finish Xrust showed that the outcome of the race at 42.195 km decided with a difference of three hundredths. The Simba overtook Petros on the finish line, with a break of 0.05 seconds. This is an incredibly small difference and divided the gold and silver medalist.

Simbu and Petros showed the same time-two hours and 48 seconds. The German won the silver medal, despite the fact that he was the leader at the start at the Tokyo National Stadium. The Italian Iliass Auan won bronze with a result of 2: 09.53.

33-year-old Simba said: when we went to the stadium, I was not sure of the victory; I did not even understand whether he won; But, when I saw my name in the upper part of the table of the results on the video, I felt relief.
