Kipchoge wins Berlin despite shoe 'malfunction'

Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge won Sunday's Berlin Marathon - despite running the majority of the race with his insoles hanging out of his shoes.

The first insole began to work it's way out after 800 metres, followed later by the other.

The resulting pain meant Kipchoge couldn't push for a world record - but he still set a personal best and added victory in Berlin to this year's London Marathon title.

After the race he spoke to the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's athletics commentator Ed Harry.
