Stephen Kissa Wins Men’s Title at the Tata Steel World 25K in India

Posted on December 15, 2024December 15, 2024 By Naomy Mbaka No Comments on Stephen Kissa Wins Men’s Title at the Tata Steel World 25K in India

Uganda’s Stephen Kissa shocked Kenya’s Daniel Ebenyo to claim the men’s title at the Tata Steel World 25K in Kolkata, India, marking his first international victory in five years.

Kissa crossed the finish line in 1:12:33, narrowly beating Ebenyo, who clocked 1:12:37 after a fierce battle in the final kilometers.

The race began at a brisk pace, with a lead pack that included Kissa, Ebenyo, Benson Kipruto, and Ethiopia’s Haymanot Alew.

The defining moment came at the 20K mark, where Kissa surged ahead. Despite Ebenyo’s attempt to close the gap, Kissa’s final kick secured the USD 15,000 top prize.

“This victory means a lot. India is a beautiful country, and I felt strong today,” said Kissa.

Ebenyo, reflecting on his second-place finish, said, “I was tired after the Chicago Marathon, but I’m proud of my effort. I’ll take some rest and come back stronger.”

Kenya’s Anthony Kipchirchir finished third in 1:12:55, securing his first major podium finish. Kipruto and Asbel Rutto completed the top five, demonstrating Kenya’s depth in long-distance racing.
