Flanagan, who had never won a major marathon, clocked two hours, 26 minutes 53 seconds for the stunning victory at the age of 36 in what could be her last competitive marathon. "This is the moment I have dreamed off since I was a little girl," Flanagan said after the race, tears streaming down her face. Whether she runs another major marathon is likely to be decided in the coming days. While Flanagan was an overwhelming winner, Kamworor was not assured of his first major victory until the closing meters. "This is fantastic for me for this is my first victory in (a major) marathon," said Kamworor, who was running his fifth marathon.
