Colombian sports roundup: marathon record break and high‑profile boxing show

Kenyan runner Erick Sang set a new course record at the Bogotá Media Marathon, completing the race in 1 hour, 1 minute and 59 seconds, well ahead of his rivals and improving the previous best by more than a minute. Colombian Rubén Barbosa was the top national finisher, placing tenth.

In a separate event, the Velada del Año 6 boxing spectacle featured a projected video of Cristiano Ronaldo alongside journalist Edu Aguirre, who entered the arena carrying a replica World Cup trophy. Aguirre won his bout, adding to the evening’s blend of sport and entertainment that attracted a large live and digital audience in Colombia.
