16 September 2023 at 13:30 Rule drama in the Oslo marathon – the winner was dished out and lost the NM gold Frew Zenebe Brkineh from Sandnes thought he had won Saturday’s Oslo marathon and become Norwegian champion, but then the message came that he was disqualified. It became dramatic when the men’s winner of the marathon in the capital was to be announced on Saturday. Also at stake were NM medals in the distance. Frew Zenebe Brkineh from Sandnes reached the finish line first and was named winner with a time of 2.25.24. He gave victory interviews, and the organizer also managed to send out a press release about the outcome before the drama really started. Oslo Marathon states that images and information emerged that Sandnes runner Brkineh allegedly cut certain turns in an unregulated manner and thus did not comply with the course. This meant that the jury chose to disqualify the winner and award Tage Morken Augustson from Varegg the victory with a time of 2.25.44. Golden smoke at the end Augustson can thus also call himself Norwegian champion in the marathon distance. – Very nice to win. But it would have been even better if I had finished first, said Augustson to the organizer after he learned that the silver had been converted into gold. – I had good legs and good energy at the end, added the recent Norwegian champion.
