Kenya’s Vivian Cheruiyot wins women’s race at London Marathon
Kenya’s Vivian Cheruiyot won the 2018 London Marathon but Paula Radcliffe’s ‘mixed-gender’ race world record remained intact. Cheruiyot, 34, crossed the finish line in an unofficial two hours 18 minutes 31 seconds to seal the win. That was more than three minutes slower than the 2:15:25 record.
The 34-year-old finished ahead of compatriot Brigid Kosgei (2:20:13) with Ethiopia’s Tadelech Bekele third (2:21:30).
