Oct. 15 - Sun Weiwei defended China's dominance in women's race at the 2006 Beijing Marathon¹, as she claimed the title with two hours 34 minutes and 41 seconds on Sunday.

Kenya's James Kwambi Kipsang defeated his countrymen, defending champion James Moiben to win the men's event.

Sun stayed in the leading pack throughout² the grueling race of 42.195 kilometers starting from the Tian'anmen Square in Beijing and pulled away after 29 kilometers to help China win the title for 15 times in a row.

"It is a hard race for me because I took part in a marathon race early this month. I took Beijing Marathon as a training session³ and it is a surprise that I won the title." said Sun, who won the silver medal in Cologne Marathon at October 10.

Chepchumba Pamela from Kenya took the silver medal with 2:34:51while Chen Rong, also from China, third at 2:34:57.
