EMILE CAIRESS ran the second-fastest time ever by a Brit to finish an impressive third in the TCS London Marathon.
And the emotional Yorkshireman dedicated his 2:06:46 to a young cousin who recently came out of a coma following a car accident.
Cairess, securing his place on the GB Olympics team, climbed five places in the final three kilometres for a podium spot (top), behind Kenya's Alexander Munyao and Ethiopian legend Kenenisa Bekele.
The 26-year-old had "no idea" he was in third until 200m from the end and he was followed closely by Southampton's Mahamed Mahamed, who will fill the third and final spot on the train to Paris after running 2:07:05. But Sint Mo Farah's national record of 2:05:11 was never in realistic reach on a windy morning.
