Men's race decided in a three-man standoff
„This victory is very special, as I have won in a sprint after skating for 29 kilometres with Ewen and Nolan“ said the victorious Bart Swings after the race. He won for the sixth time in a row the BMW Berlin Marathon ahead of Ewen Fernandez (FRA, Team Rollerblade) and Nolan Beddiaf (FRA, Team EO Skates Boom)
Women's race decided on the finish line only
The women’s race was different, as the pack stayed together with Katharina Rumpus (Powerslide Matter Team) from Germany winning in a photo finish by less than a boot “I have been waiting for a victory here for many years and today finally a dream has come true, I am extremely happy!”
