Olympic medalist Karim Khalili on he said that he dedicated the victory in the marathon to the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Uvat Daniel Serokhvostov in honor of his birthday.
On Thursday, Khalili won the eight-mile 40K race. Nikita Porshnev finished second, his gap was 1 minute 1.6 seconds. Ivan Kolotov took third place (+1.04.6). Serokhvostov turned 25 on April 4.
— Today’s victory is dedicated to Daniil Serokhvostov in honor of his birthday. I drove and all I could think about was him. In the last laps, of course, I didn’t get bored, because from the seventh or eighth lap the cramps started a little, the muscles were cramping. At the penultimate turn I lost my concentration a little. I thought that at the last (milestone) I had to come to my senses. The track is difficult, even if we try to “save money”, rest, it’s hard to recover.
I tried to have fun with the race. End of season, good weather, great discipline.
— What are you going to spend the $300,000 prize money on? For a wedding ?
“Yes, I will save for the wedding,” Khalili said on .
