The APRIL MARATHON RECAP with Jim Hage on Universal Sports
Two of the most anticipated marathons of recent years, Boston and London, are in the books and the reviews are now in -- at least this one is. Boston, the world’s oldest marathon, enjoyed a successful 113th running with Deriba Merga, fourth in the Beijing Olympics, winning in 2:08:42. On the other side of the pond, London enjoyed a spectacular race Sunday, crowning as its champion Olympic gold medalist Sammy Wanjiru, who ran 2:05:10; second and third place went to the Olympic bronze and silver medalists, Tsegaye Kebede and Jaouad Gharib, respectively, won ran 2:05:20 and 2:05:27. So based on those results in this year’s races, London scores the opening points.
