- Kipchoge sets course record of 2.02:37 as Farah comes fifth
- Kosgei, 25, becomes youngest ever female winner in London
After losing the PR war against one distance legend during the week, Mo Farah found himself humbled by another as he trudged home in fifth place behind Eliud Kipchoge in a London Marathon for the ages.
Kipchoge cemented his claims to be considered the greatest ever over 26.2 miles by winning this race for a fourth time in 2:02:37 – not only a new course record but the second quickest time in history. Only the Kenyan has run faster, of course, with his world record in Berlin last year.
