42 km in the rain in London: Anatoliy Anatolich wins his second major marathon
TV presenter Anatoliy Anatolich fulfilled another of his dreams – he ran his second large-scale world marathon.
Anatoliy Anatoliyovych ran the Virgin Money London Marathon in 4 hours and 48 minutes, which is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, a series of the largest, most famous and coveted marathons in the world. This year’s marathon race in London brought together about 50 thousand athletes.
Three years ago, Anatoliy made a promise to himself to run all the major marathons of the Abbott World Marathon Majors in Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York. He has already run twice in New York, and today it was London.
“You know, I am extremely proud that I am an unprofessional athlete, and the Ukrainian flag is once again raised at the world’s biggest sporting events, and this is the biggest victory for me! I was running with the inscription “Ukraine” on my back and everyone could see that Ukraine was here at one of the biggest marathons in the world. A marathon is a victory over yourself. There are even more victories ahead. My next marathon is already in November, and I think it will be even cooler! It was difficult, it was raining, but I did it. Greetings from London“.
This fall, Anatoliy is going to run the New York City Half Marathon 2021 for the third time.
