Kenya’s Jeptoo wins women’s race at London Marathon

{{Kenya’s Priscah Jeptoo took advantage of a dramatic fall by Olympic champion Tiki Gelana to win the London Marathon.}}

Jeptoo, the 2012 Olympic silver medallist, won in two hours, 20 minutes and 13 seconds, ahead of compatriot Edna Kiplagat and Japan’s Yoko Shibui.

Earlier, Gelana was involved in a collision at a water station with Canadian wheelchair racer Josh Cassidy.

Despite falling, the Ethiopian was able to rejoin the race, but, in clear discomfort, her challenge faded.
