By AYUMBA AYODIMore by this AuthorThree-time Berlin Marathon champion Kenya’s Gladys Cherono has predicted that the Women-only World Record (WR) could go down on Sunday during this year’s London Marathon. Cherono, who made her London debut last year to finish fourth, disclosed on Wednesday that Mary Keitany’s Women-Only World Record of 2 hours, 17 minutes and 01 minute set at the same course in 2017 could be broken owing to the favourable weather and strong field in the English capital. Cherono completed her hat-trick of victories in Berlin last year in 2:18:11, the sixth fastest time in the history of the marathon. However, it’s Keitany who boasts the fastest time in the rich field for London Marathon from her trail-blazing victory in 2017, followed by Cherono’s 2:18:11 from last year’s Berlin Marathon. Cherono, the 2014 World Half Marathon champion, has declared her intention of winning the London Marathon title, saying she is also seeking to improve her personal best.
