FLASH: 44. New York City Marathon: Mary Keitany (KEN) 2:25:13 and Wilson Kipsang (KEN) 2:10:59

Wilson Kipsang and Mary Keitany made it a day to remember for Kenya as the pair triumphed in the TCS New York City Marathon, crossing the line in 2:10:59 and 2:25:07 respectively at the IAAF Gold Label Road Race on Sunday (2).

The times were rendered relatively modest, infact the men's winning time was the slowest since 1995, owing to cold and windy conditions.

With the women starting ahead of the men, the two-time London Marathon winner Keitany was the first home, going past her compatriot Jemina Sumgong with just a few hundred metres to go to win in the Big Apple for the first time, following third-place finishes in 2010 and 2011. Sumgong finished second in 2:25:10 with Portugal’s Sara Moreira third in 2:26:00.
