With more twists and turns, London is typically a slower course than Berlin \u2014 making Kipchoge\u2019s display even more exceptional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI\u2019m happy to win on the streets of London for the fourth time and to make history on a day that the event has raised 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion),\u201d said Kipchoge, who won in London in 2015, \u201816 and \u201818.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Geremew finished 18 seconds behind, and Wasihun a further 21 seconds back. Nobody has run quicker to finish a marathon in second or third place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Home favorite Mo Farah \u2014 a four-time Olympic champion on the track \u2014 could not live with the pace, dropping away at the 14-mile mark and finishing a distant fifth at the end of a week when he was involved in an extraordinary public feud with retired distance-running great Haile Gebrselassie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Kosgei bettered her second-place finish in last year\u2019s race by winning in 2:18:20 for her second victory in the World Marathon Majors, after Chicago last year. She ran the quickest-ever second half of a women\u2019s marathon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Compatriot and defending champion Vivian Cheruiyot finished in a time of 2:20:14 and Roza Dereje of Ethiopia was third, 37 seconds further back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Dan Romanchuk, a 20-year-old American, won the men\u2019s wheelchair race ahead of Switzerland\u2019s Marcel Hug. The women\u2019s wheelchair race was won comfortably by Switzerland\u2019s Manuela Schar, the 2017 champion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/sports\/kipchoge-wins-the-london-marathon-for-record-4th-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya&#8217;s Eliud Kipchoge wins the first place in the men&#8217;s race at the 39th London Marathon in London, Sunday, April 28, 2019.
