Kenya’s Daniel Wanjiru made it yet another double for Kenya when he weathered the last two kilometre assault from Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele to win London Marathon on Sunday.

A new star was born in Wanjiru, who claimed the lead from Olympic silver medallist Feyisa Lelisa at the 25km mark and never looked back to win the race in 2 hours, 05 minutes and 49 seconds.

Wanjiru, who won Amsterdam Marathon in personal best 2:05:21 in October last year, beat the pre-race favourite Bekele by nine seconds.

The 24-year-old Wanjiru had an anxious last two kilometres when Bekele, who had sunk behind just before the 25km mark, ploughed his way back.

Wanjiru couldn’t help but look over his shoulder, as Bekele closed in to reduce the lead by seven seconds.

However, Wanjiru stepped pressed on as Bekele seemingly went out of gas in the last 600m to let the Kenyan reign.

Kenya’s Bedan Karoki, who was making his marathon debut, settled in an impressive third place in 2:07:41 as former two times World marathon champion Abel Kirui came in fourth, four seconds behind Karoki.

This was the third time Kenyans were sweeping marathon races after Paris and Boston Marathon.

On April 9, Kenyan couple Paul Lonyangata and Purity Rionoripo made it a family affair when they won the men and women races at the 41st Paris Marathon.

Then Geoffrey Kirui and two times former World marathon champion Edna Kiplagat led yet another Kenyan sweep with victories at the 121st edition of Boston Marathon on Monday last week.

ILI KUONDOA HII AIBU NATOA AMRI IFUATAYO

1. Wizara ya michezo na baraza la michezo taifa liache kufikiria kuwa michezo ni SOKA, BONGO FLAVOUR na BONGO MOVIES

2. Wafute ligi ya mpira wa miguu kwani imeshindwa kutuletea heshma kama nchi kwani timu ya Taifa ya mpira wa miguu haijawahi kushika hata namba 50 ya dunia huyu mwanariadha kashika namba 5 nadhani ni kama ya dunia maana hakuna mzungu hata mmoja aliyemshinda

3.Ianzishwe ligi ya riadha na wanariadha chipukizi watafutwe vijijini kwenye mikoa yenye asili ya wanariadha kama ARUSHA, SINGIDA na MARA na sii kuchukua wajanja wajanja wa dar na kwenda kutuaibishwa

4. Simbu atunzwe kuliko anavyotunzwa FARU FAUSTA ili kila chochote anachokitaka kufanikisha safari yake ya GOLD MEDAL akipate na tukizubaa , wazungu sasa wanamfuatilia wanaweza kumuiba kama akina MO FARAH.
