BERLIN (AP) - Brazil's Ronaldo da
Costa ran the fastest marathon in history
yesterday. da Costa impressed the crowd
by breaking the 10-year-old record by 45
seconds in clocking 2 hours, 6 minutes,
5 seconds, at the Berlin Marathon.
The 28-year-old bettered the previous
world best of 2:06:50 set by Ethiopia's
Belaynch Densimo at Rotterdam in
1988.
"I wanted to run under 2:08, but when
I saw how good the conditions were I
just went for it," da Costa said, after run-
ning on a cool, sunny and windless day.
Da Costa broke to the front at the
halfway point, reached in 1:04:42.
He then struck out by himself and his
acceleration was so quick that within
less than a mile, he was 45 seconds in
front.
He ran the second half in a sensation-
al 1:01:23, and after crossing the finish
line, he did a cartwheel in celebration.
Thus the men's and women's marks
were broken in the same year. Kenya's
Tegla Loroupe smashed the women's 13-
year-old record with 2:20:47 at
Rotterdam in April.
Kenyans took the next three places
yesterday, with Josephat Kiprono the
runner-up at 2:07:26, followed by
Samson Kandie at 2:09:11.
Kiprono's time was 1 1/2 minutes
faster than his previous best, the 21-year-
old Kandie matched his marathon debut
time at Prague in May.
Chebutich's time was two minutes
faster than his victory at Belgrade in
April.
Belgium's Marleen Renders was the
women's winner at 2:25:22, nearly three
minutes ahead of runner-up Susan
Chepkemei of Kenya (2:28:19).

The race had about 28,000 starters --
4,000 more than last year - making it
the third-largest marathon, behind
London and New York.
It was watched by an estimated 1 mil-
lion spectators..0
Berlin has attracted some of the
world's top distance runners because of
its reputation for fast times. Kenya's
Sammy Lelci clocked the then second-
fastest time in history of 2:07:02 at the
1995 race.
Da Costa, who is from Descoberto,
120 miles north of Rio de Janiero,
earned $200,000 for the victory.
Da Costa, who has been running sin
he was 17, now is expected to conIngn
up to S250,000 in appearance moniey at
future marathons.
"This will make him a millionaire,"
Luis Posso, Da Costa's manager, said:
