Sifan Hassan, Kelvin Kiptum Impress At Rainy TCS London Marathon
Using totally different strategies, Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan and Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum were victorious at this morning's 43rd TCS London Marathon held in cool and rainy conditions. Hassan, the 2019 World Athletics 1500m and 10,000m champion, won in her debut at the distance with a spectacular come-from-behind performance in 2:18:33. Kiptum, 23, who only made his marathon debut last December in Valencia, flattened a top-class field with a 59:45 second half (the fastest second half ever in a certified marathon) to win in a course record 2:01:25, the second-fastest time in history.
