Kenya’s Vivian Cheruiyot won the 2018 London Marathon but Paula Radcliffe’s ‘mixed-gender’ race world record remained intact.
Cheruiyot, 34, crossed the finish line in a personal best two hours, 18 minutes and 31 seconds.
That was more than three minutes slower than the 2:15:25 four-time British Olympian Radcliffe ran in 2003.
Mary Keitany and Tirunesh Dibaba had been looking to break Radcliffe’s record but both faded.
