Kenya’s Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir sets new a new world record in a women’s-only race

It was, by his own admission, a “tough day” at the London Marathon, and with that Stephen Scullion’s hopes of qualifying for a second

“Tough day for me,” Scullion said afterwards. “Thanks for all the cheers, and I wouldn’t have finished without the crowds or people cheering and if I’m honest all those who support me from afar. You can’t give people advice to never quit ‘find a way’ and quit yourself. I’m sad but proud.

Meanwhile, Rhasidat Adeleke had her first individual race of the outdoor season at the Mt Sac Relays in California, finishing second in a high quality international 200 metres in 22.61 seconds. Adeleke will next turn her focus to the women’s 4x400m relay and the mixed 4x400m relay at next month’s World Athletics Relays, set for Nassau in the Bahamas on the weekend of May 4th, with Paris Olympic qualification on the line.
