We are reaching our climax in the women’s race and it’s a two horse/woman affair.

Jemima Sumgong, she of the fall, leads the way from last year’s winner Tigist Tufa.

They enter the Mall and Sumgong has opened up a gap that looks insurmountable. And it is. She crosses the line. What an achievement.

Tufa comes through second with Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat third.

Sumgong was tripped, hit her head, and got up to win
