|
Attemptees:
29 Guinness Book Records have been achieved this year.
"The pantomime horse" succeeded, the Womble was
unlucky. |
|
Hula:
Sasha Kenney earns her entry in the Guinness Book by Hula-hooping
for 5:05:57
hours.
|
|
Elite Women:
When Mary Keitany accelerates,
pace makers start to get problems. |
|
Continental Solo:
Irina Mikitenko was very unhappy with her result. However, clocking
2:24:53 she finished as fastest non-African woman and she organised her
run perfectly. |
|
Elite Men:
World record holder Patrick
Makau gave up early in the race and failed to be nominated for the
Olympic Games.
It seems to be more difficult to qualify for the Kenyan team than to
win the Olympic marathon.
|
|
Frequent Guests:
Tsegaye Kebede (ETH) and Martin Lel know each other very well from
various London Marathons. Both count 10 Londons together. Today they
overtake the leading group and finish at places 3 and 2.
Martin Lel (KEN) celebrated three victories in London and finished
runner-up another three times. He is the most successful London runner
but he also wasn't nominated for the Olympics. |
|
The Mall:
That's how the scene looks after 4:30 hours. Every minute there are 300
finishers to be cared for. |
|
Mary Keitany (KEN):
2:18:37 make an
impressive African record. Mary is third fastest woman ever, behind
Paula Radcliffe and Liliya Shobukhova. |
|
Two Finishers:
He won Frankfurt and now he won London. In Germany he missed
the world record by 4 seconds, today in London he missed the course
record by 4 seconds. Wilson Kipsang now will start at the Olympics as
the main favourite. The proud lady agrees. |
