Emmanuel Mutai and Mary Keitany completed a Kenyan double as they won the men's and women's races at the London Marathon1 on Sunday.

在周日举办的伦敦马拉松赛上,肯尼亚男女选手Emmanuel Mutai和Mary Keitany分别获得冠军。

Mutai raced to a London record of two hours four minutes and 39 seconds, while Keitany won in 2:19.19, the fourth fastest women's marathon ever.

In the men's race Martin Lel sprinted2 to second place ahead of Patrick Makau as Kenyans filled the top three spots.

Russian defending champion Liliya Shobukhova was the women's runner-up.

Mutai told BBC3 Sport: "My dreams have come true, the day has come for me. My aim was just to win the race, I was not focusing4 on the time.

"I'm happy with the result, since I came to run in London, I was fourth twice and second once. It's a fantastic achievement for me personally."

The 26-year-old beat the previous London Marathon record time by 30 seconds and recorded the fifth fastest time in history.

Ethopian Aberu Kebede, last year's winner of the men's race,  could only manage ninth.

Lee Merrien was Britain's highest placed athlete, coming in 14th in a time of 2:14.27, one place ahead of Andrew Lemoncello, who could not improve on last year's eighth-placed finish as he struggled in the later stages.

None of the British men were able to achieve the Olympic qualifying5 time of two hours and 12 minutes set by UK Athletics6 head coach Charles van Commenee.

Keitany, running only her second marathon, controlled the latter part of the women's race and the 29-year-old won by nearly a minute from Shobukhova.

The Russian world number one was a strong favourite to retain7 her London Marathon title and led from the beginning, but Keitany pulled ahead of the pack at mile 15 and increased her pace all the way to the line.
