all to themselves, as the minor placings changed
dramatically behind them over the final kilometres.
It was Ngolepus, tracking the other two, who
launched his attack towards 40km. For a while he
led Sang by an indecisive few seconds, but entering
Retiro Park he strode out to a convincing victory
and a new event record. Both Sang and Moiben
also broke the old mark of 2:12:24.

OKLAHOMA CITY MEMORIAL
MARATHON, USA
To mark the 11th anniversary of the Oklahoma
City bombing over 1700 people ran in the
marathon and nearly 2600 in the half; twice as
many men as women over the full distance, but
women were in the majority in the half.
Jerry Faulkner strode away to win by a big margin.
Only Russell Sears kept him company to the 10km
point. He later paid for his early efforts, slipping
back to fifth place.
