Ruth Chepngetich sets world record time at Chicago Marathon; Korir takes men's title
Chepngetich set the world record in 2:09:56, smashing the previous record of 2:11:53 held by Ethiopian Tigst Assefa. I am very proud of myself and I've done well for the victory and the world record. It was a second world record for Kenya in as many years at the Chicago Marathon after Kelvin Kiptum set the men's record in 2023. "This world record I'm dedicating to Kelvin Kiptum because maybe he could have defended his title and again [achieved] a world record," she said on Sunday, fighting back tears. The Kenyan runner showed early on that she meant business as she ran a 1:04:16 half marathon split, the fastest half marathon ever on US soil.

Athletics-Kenya's Chepngetich Smashes Women's Marathon World Record
(Reuters) -Kenya's Ruth Chepngetich put on a performance for the ages as she obliterated the women's marathon world record in Chicago on Sunday, taking nearly two minutes off the previous best to win in an unofficial time of two hours, nine minutes and 56 seconds. "This is my dream that has come true," said Chepngetich, whose time was originally recorded as 2:09:57 but was later adjusted. Chepngetich, the 2019 world champion, hunched over in utter exhaustion after breaking the tape and dedicated her performance to compatriot Kelvin Kiptum, who broke the men's world record a year ago in Chicago and died in a car crash four months later. "World record was in my mind," she said in televised remarks. He glided through the final kilometres, holding his arms out wide as he finished his textbook performance in a personal best time for his first major title.

Nadia Milleron, an attorney and the niece of consumer advocate Ralph Nader, is running as an independent to defeat Neal. “And where does Neal get much of his money?

Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich put on a performance for the ages as she obliterated the women’s marathon world record in Chicago on Sunday, taking nearly two minutes off the previous best to win in an unofficial time of two hours, nine minutes and 56 seconds. Chepngetich ditched the competition by the halfway mark and ran through a chorus of cheers through the final straight as she claimed her third title in Chicago and crushed Ethiopian Tigst Assefa’s previous record of 2:11:53, set last year in Berlin. Ethiopia’s Sutume Kebede crossed the line seven minutes and 36 seconds later while Kenyan Irine Cheptai (2:17:51) was third. “This is my dream that has come true,” said Chepngetich, whose time was originally recorded as 2:09:57 but was later adjusted. Chepngetich set a blistering pace from the start, running the first five kilometres in 15 minutes flat and by the halfway mark she had built a 14-second cushion between herself and Kebede.

Africa: Egypt and Sudan reject new Nile River deal that just came into force
Egypt and Sudan have rejected the recently ratified Nile River Basin Cooperative Framework (CFA) agreement, which officially enters into force today, 13 October, after being ratified by six upstream countries. Egypt and Sudan have long argued that the CFA violates the 1929 and 1959 Nile River Agreements. The entry into force of the CFA comes after six Nile River basin countries – Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda – ratified the agreement at a meeting in Bujumbura, Burundi, earlier this year. The treaty signed in 1959, and still in force, assigns 75 percent of the waters to Egypt, leaving the remainder to Sudan. The most important of these initiatives was born in 2010 and was called the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI).
