World record holder Brigid Kosgei retains her London Marathon title with an amazing performance.
The 26-year-old Kenyan, who broke Paula Radcliffe’s world record in Chicago last year, went clear of world champion Ruth Chepngetich after mile eighteen.
She finished alone on The Mall in two hours 18 minutes and 58 seconds to retain her throne.
She was almost five minutes outside her world record set in Chicago last year.
“The weather was not good, so we struggled,” Kosgei told BBC Sport. “I struggled up to the moment I finished.
“We have not prepared well due to the pandemic. I will be prepared for good results next year.” She added.
