Kenyans dominate as Farah toils on London marathon debut
Print Edition
WORLD record holder Wilson Kipsang and twice world champion Edna Kiplagat led Kenyan domination at the London marathon yesterday as Britain’s Mo Farah toiled on his highly-anticipated debut.
Farah, the world and Olympic 5,000 and 10,000 meters champion, came home eighth as Kipsang secured a second London title with a course-record 2 hours, 4 minutes and 29 seconds. He kicked clear of compatriot Stanley Biwott who was 26 seconds back with Ethiopian Tsegaye Kebede third. Farah crossed in 2:08:21, outside the British record. Edna Kiplagat won her first London title after finishing runner-up in the past two years, getting the better of compatriot Florence Kiplagat in the final 200 meters to win in 2:20.21. Edna Kiplagat outkicked her namesake who finished three seconds behind with Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba taking third, 14 seconds behind the winner.
