2:00 a.m. EST: Women's Marathon

The gun sounds and we are officially underway with the women's marathon. 

Just 2-minutes into the race, Fiona O'Keeffe has dropped back and is trailing the entire field. Announcers on the broadcast cite that she has likely been battling an injury of late, although the nature of what that may be is still unknown. 

O'Keeffe is not alone, less than 2-kilometers in several other runners are well back from the field. 

A large lead group crests the 5 km mark in 17:24 with Eunice Chebichii Chumba the first athlete through the timing mat. 

Confirming that Fiona O'Keeffe has dropped out of the race and is now listed as a DNF. We're likely to learn more post-race about the adversity O'Keeffe was facing that led to her day being cut short. 

A bright and sunny morning has greeted the runners on what is the last official day of the Paris Games. The women are facing warmer temperatures today than what the men encountered yesterday. 

Now through 10 km, there's a large lead pack that traverses through the marker in 34:32. Ethiopian world record holder Tigst Assefa officially leads, but many women are in contact with her during this early portion of the contest. 

France's Melody Julien briefly broke away from the field to lead by the 12 km point, but she was quickly joined up front by defending Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir. Just 1 km later, the a large pack has reattached to that lead duo. 

The lead women run 16:40 for the third 5 km segment of the race, as leaders pass through the 15 km marker. This is the quickest 5 km segment run thus far. 

A grueling portion of the race awaits, as athletes will be climbing sustained hills from approximately 15 km to 20 km. 

At race start, it was 67-degrees and now with most runners through 10-miles, it has reached 70-degrees. 

Now past 20 km, most of the pre-race favorites, including Sifan Hassan, Tigst Assefa and Peres Chipchirchir, are among the leaders. Notably Minnesota native Dakotah Lindwurm is in contact with the lead group. 

Jessica Stenson takes the field through the halfway point in 1:13.22. 

Lonah Chemtai Salpeter takes the field through 25 km in 1:26.34. The last 5 km was traversed in 17:03. Lindwurm has led for portions of the last few kilometers and is still in the mix with the leaders. 

It's now a lead pack of five through 30 km at 1:43.59 with Sifan Hassan fading back to the chase group. The leaders clocked 17:25 for the last 5 km segment. 

With 10-kilometers remaining, the lead group is comprised of nine women.

35-kilometers into the marathon, the lead pack is down to five. Kenyan Sharon Lokedi guides the group past the marker in 1:59.43. 15:44 for the last 5 km, with much of that route being descents. 

Obiri, Hassan, Lokedi, Shankule and Assefa make up the star-studded lead pack with now less than 5 km to go. 

At 40-kilometers now and the same lead five women remain. 

Shankule has fallen back by 41 km and it's now down to four for three medal positions. 

An absolutely thrilling women's Olympic marathon concludes with Sifan Hassan taking control very late to win in 2:22.55, a new Olympic record time! 

Tigst Assefa claims second in 2:22.58 and Helen Obiri comes in third at 2:23.10. 

There was some inadvertent contact between Hassan and Assefa late as they were jostling for position, but it was Hassan who put her track pedigree on display over the finishing sequence to sprint away for the gold medal. 

This is her third medal of the Games after bronze medal efforts in the 5,000m and 10,000m races. 

Americans Dakotah Lindwurm and Emily Sisson place 12th and 23rd, respectively, with times of 2:26.44 and 2:29.53. 

The top five was rounded out with Lokedi in 4th at 2:23.14 and Shankule as the 5th place finisher in 2:23.57. 

The Tokyo Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir clocked 2:26.51 for 15th overall. From north of the border, Malindi Elmore placed 35th. The Canadian native produced a 2:31.08 mark.
