Kenyan Runner Collapses Near Finish Line at a Marathon in Germany, Crawls to Win Silver [VIDEO]

A Kenyan marathoner, Michael Kunyuga left many shocked on Sunday after he collapsed near the finish line during a marathon, but that did not stop him from completing the race.

Kunyuga was just a few meters away from the finish line during Hanover Marathon in Germany when he collapsed to the ground.

He had taken second place and his fellow Kenyan runner, Duncan Koech was fast approaching from behind. After falling, Kunyuga crawled across the finish line, eventually winning silver.

He finished the race in two hours, 10 minutes and 16 seconds, only three seconds before Koech in third.

Medical attendants helped him after he crossed the finish line. Kunyuga’s time 2:10:16 is also a personal best after he clocked 2:10:43 at the Padova Marathon in Italy last year. Ethiopia’s Seboka Negussa Erre won the race in 2:09:44.
