As noted by the Guardian 's Sean Ingle, it was a remarkable fightback from the Ethiopian:. Kenenisa Bekele was on Betfair half an hour ago - now he is favourite. He ceratinly looks set to overtake Wanjuri here Indeed, just nine seconds separated Bekele from Wanjiru as they passed 40 kilometres, with a thrilling climax in store.
For much of the last mile, Bekele looked strong and capable of shutting down the gap. But Wanjiru was able to find something extra in the dying embers, and as he moved past Buckingham Palace into the home straight, he was pulling away from Bekele. Eventually he had more than enough to come home in first position.
Watching the end of London Marathon: Daniel Wanjiru wins by holding off Bekele, which is quite something to say. The highlight of the day came in the women's event, though. The pace set by Keitany in the early portion of the women's race was nothing short of blistering, as she left the rest of the field trailing, and at the halfway mark, she was on to break the overall world record also held by Radcliffe.
Indeed, as noted by sports journalist Nick Harris, she went through 30 kilometres much faster than any woman has before:. That is unbelievable. The effects of that early assault did begin to take their toll on the leader in the final third of the race.
