Eliud Kipchoge (KEN) is the first man to win in London
for the 4th time. Adding to this he improved his own course
record to 2:02:37, the second fastest time in history. He was
chased by two incredible Ethiopian runners. Mosinet Geremew
is the fastest runner-up of all times, 2:02:55 makes him
also the second fastest marathon runner after Eliud. Mule
Wasihun placed third after 2:03:16, what would still have
been a new course record.
In the ladies' race Brigid Kosgei (KEN) showed a
breathtaking performance by running the second half in stunning
66:42, the fastest time any woman has run ever. Defending
champion Vivian Cheruiyot (KEN) ran to second place in
2:20:14, the biggest gap between winner and runner-up since
2005. 21-year-old Roza Dereje (ETH) won the sprint for
3rd place on the podium after 2:20:51.
