Sabastian Sawe used smart tactics to pull away for the men's title in the London Marathon, while Tigst Assefa smashed the women’s-only world record.

Tigst Assefa broke the world record for a women’s only marathon race in London this morning, with Eilish McColgan also eclipsing her mum Liz’s Scottish record to finish eighth on her 26.2-mile debut.

Assefa made up for second-place finishes in London and the Paris Olympics last year by pulling away near the end to finish in 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 50 seconds.
