Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum set a London Marathon course record on Sunday, and Dutch middle-distance athlete Sifan Hassan scored a stunning upset to win her debut marathon
Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum set a London Marathon course record on Sunday, finishing in two hours, one minute, 25 seconds, nearly three minutes ahead of second-placed Geoffrey Kamworor in a rain-drenched race full of drama.
“I am so happy with the result,” Kiptum told the BBC. “I don’t know what to say right now, I am just grateful.” The 30-year-old looked to be in pain around the hip flexor just under an hour in, falling behind as she stopped and stretched, but she caught up with the leading pack with just over six kms to go.
