On May 31, Burundi-born Spanish runner Rodrigue Kwizera ran 26:01 in the 10K at the Madrid Vintage Run, sponsored by Total Energies，比约米夫·科杰查（Yomif Kejelcha）去年 2 月在西班牙卡斯特利翁跑出的 26 分 31 秒快了整整半分钟，比赛中的配速达到惊人的每公里 2 分 36 秒！
尽管 26 分 01 秒这一成绩足以让整个田径圈为之震撼，但由于赛道的特殊性，这一成绩并不能被认证为官方的 10 公里世界纪录。根据规则，马德里 Vintage Run 的赛道具有超过 160 米的净下坡（负爬升），且起点与终点之间的直线距离超标，属于典型的下坡有利赛道，所以现在的十公里世界纪录还是属于约米夫·科杰查。克维泽拉 set a clear goal before the race: to break the course record of 26:34 set by Kenyan runner Weldon Langat in 2022, and he did indeed smash that course record by a wide margin. He said he will return to this course next year to continue lowering the course record.The 26-year-old Ke Weizela has a 10km road PB of 26:54, ranking 13th in the world. His 10km PB is 31 seconds faster than the current Spanish 10km national record, and his performance in Madrid this time was a full 1 minute 24 seconds faster than the Spanish national record.He and Sa Wei, who ran sub-2 hours this year, are both members of 2 Running Club — arguably the strongest running group on the planet. He finished seventh in the men's 10,000m at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. His half marathon PB is 58:16, also placing him 13th in the world.This recently naturalized Spanish athlete may well go on to rewrite Spain's road running and athletics records across the board — what will the next Spanish or even European record be?
