LONDON champion Reigning Olympic Peres Jepchirchir crushed the women-only world record in winning the London Marathon on April 21, while Kenyan compatriot Alexander Mutiso Munyao pulled away from Ethiopian distance great Kenenisa Bekele to win the men's race.
The 30-year-old Jepchirchir crossed the finishing line in front of Buckingham Palace in 2hr 16min 16sec to break Mary Keitany's mark of 2:17:01 set in a women-only race at the 2017 London event.
Jepchirchir pulled away from a group of four in a sprint finish before collapsing to her knees in tears, having beaten the fastest field of women ever assembled.
Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia, who clocked 2:11:53 at the Berlin Marathon last September to set a world record for women in a race alongside male runners, crossed second in the women's race in 2:16:23.
