Sabastian Saue celebrates Team Kenya by winning the London Marathon

Sapastian -Soy from Kenya won the London Marathon for the biggest victory in his career, while Tigst Sorry broke the world record for women only.

Sawe moved away from a pioneering group of nine runners about 90 minutes from the race and ended in two hours, two minutes and 27 seconds.

The 29-year-old took his movement when his competitors slowed at a drink station-and they chose not to take any water despite the warm temperatures.

Jacob Kepelo, the world record holder in the marathon race that was the first time in the full marathon race, was the only runner able to chase but was unable to approach the erasing the gap. Ugandan finished about 70 seconds in second place.

In the women’s race, Asifa from Ethiopia won its first title in the London Marathon after moving away from Joyciline Jepkosgei.

Assefa finished within two hours, 15 minutes and 50 seconds, the fastest in the marathon race for women only – but 25 seconds slower than the record recorded by Paula Radcliffe in 2003 when he was a mixed race.

Asifa ranked second in London and the Paris Olympics last year, but it adds this title to two wins in the Berlin Marathon.

Unlike Paris, she confirmed that the enemy race will not be completed this time as Jepkosgei left behind a few kilometers left and ran alone along the Thames and crossed central London to the end in front of Buckingham Palace.

Jepkosgei, the winner of 2021 in London, was almost three minutes ago while Olympic champion Sivan Hassan ranked third.

Elish McCuljan, a 10,000 -meter gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, ranked eighth in its late marathon in a two -hour Scottish -running time.

The British woman was not the only ten in the top ten, which also included Rose Harvey, ninth, but her fellow Charlotte Bordeaux was unable to finish after completing a problem with a leg.

It was a Swiss double in the events of the wheelchair, as Marcel Hang was racing to the sixth marathon title in London in one hour, 25 minutes and 25 seconds, and Catherine Dipronor won its third women’s title in four years in one hour, 34 minutes and 18 seconds, and lost its world record by two seconds.

56,000 contestants are expected to participate in the 42.195 km race that started in Greenwich Park, along the Thames River before the completion of the mall.
