Mary Keitany of Kenya broke Paula Radcliffe's women's-only world record to win the London Marathon.
That was 41 seconds quicker than four-time British Olympian Radcliffe ran in winning the event in 2005.
Kenyan Daniel Wanjiru, 24, won the men's race in 2:05:56, with Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia second.
Bekele - the 5,000m and 10,000m world record holder - looked to be mounting a challenge in the final stages, but Wanjiru found enough pace to finish strongly and eventually win by nine seconds.
