In the women's race, German Irina Mikitenko won her first major marathon title on only her second outing over the distance when she produced a devastating last three miles to win in 2:24:14.

The 35-year-old former Kazakhstan Olympic 5,000 track athlete made her marathon debut last year when she finished second to Gete Wami in Berlin but the Ethiopian race favourite could manage only third place on Sunday after losing ground when falling at a feed station at the 30-km mark.
