Sprint finish at Tokyo Marathon in 2023 [2] |
Chalu Deso Gelmisa (born 14 December 1997 [1]) is a long-distance runner from Ethiopia. [1] He won the 2022 Paris Marathon and the 2023 Tokyo Marathon. [3] [4] [1]
In 2017, Deso took part in the Route du Vin Half Marathon in Luxembourg, finishing in twelfth place with a time of 1:08:06. [5] [1]
In 2019, Deso placed second in the Castellón Marathon. [6] [1] He finished with a time of 2:13:12, nearly five minutes behind his compatriot Andualem Belay, who won the marathon. [6] Eight months later, Deso won the 2019 Porto Marathon with a finish time of 2:09:08, nearly two minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. [7] [1] He broke away from the other runners about 4 km (2.5 mi) from the finish, and set a personal best by more than three minutes, though he missed breaking the course record by three seconds. [7]
Deso set his personal best at the 2020 Valencia Marathon, which was held during the coronavirus pandemic and restricted to elite athletes. [8] [1] His finish time of 2:04:53 placed him sixth on the list of finishers. [9] [1] Deso returned to Valencia in later years, finishing second in 2021 with a time of 2:05:16. [10] [1] He lost by four seconds in a sprint finish to Kenyan Lawrence Cherono, who passed both Deso and third-place finisher Philemon Kacheran in the last 500 m (1,600 ft) of the race. [11] [10] Deso also ran the 2022 Valencia Marathon, placing sixth with a time of 2:04:56, three seconds slower than his personal record. [12] [1] He ran with the lead pack for most of the race, which was won by Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum in 2:01:53, the fastest debut marathon time ever. [12]
In 2022, Deso won the Paris Marathon with a time of 2:05:07, sprinting to finish just three seconds ahead of compatriot Seifu Tura, who took second place. [3] [1] He ran the Sydney Marathon later that year, taking third place with a time of 2:07:09. [13] [1] That year, all three podium finishers had broken the previous Australian all-comers marathon record of 2:07:50. [13]
Deso won the 2023 Tokyo Marathon with a sprint finish, beating compatriot Mohamed Esa by less than a second. [4] [1] Both Deso and Esa recorded a time of 2:05:22, and were closely followed by Ethiopian Tsegaye Getachew, whose time of 2:05:25 rounded out an Ethiopian podium sweep. [14] [15]
