Athletics Hassan takes London Marathon title in stunning debut
Kiptum, who ran the fastest-ever debut marathon in Valencia last year, made his break at mile 19, establishing a solid lead to deliver the second-fastest marathon of all time.Earlier, Dutch athlete Sifan Hassan made a dramatic comeback after an early injury to beat Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir and defending champion Yelamzerf Yehualaw in what organisers said was the best ever elite women's field for the event.
The 30-year-old Hassan 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 again with the leading pack with just over six kms to go. Hassan has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat before: in the 1,500 metres at the Tokyo Olympics she took a hard tumble, picked herself up and charged ahead to win gold.
