BMW Berlin Marathon 1982 ballot: 9th edition
On 26 September 1982 the 9th Berlin Marathon was won by Colombia's Domingo Tibaduiza in 2:14:46, by roughly four seconds, one of the most important results in Colombian distance-running history.
What made 1982 notable
The 1982 race belonged to Domingo Tibaduiza. The Colombian, a four-time Olympian over 10,000m and the marathon, held off West Germany's Eberhardt Weyel by roughly four seconds, 2:14:46 to 2:14:50, in one of the most celebrated road results in Colombian distance-running history. It was only the second Berlin Marathon run on the new city-street course, which had left the Grunewald forest behind in 1981 to weave through West Berlin. Britain's Jean Lochhead took the women's title in 2:47:04. Tibaduiza would go on to set a South American marathon record of 2:11:21 in New York the following year, but Berlin remained his signature win.
