huhhello and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s live coverage of the 2022 London Marathon, which was held in October for the third time in its history. But this last October marathon, blessed – for now – with clear skies, should be a memorable one, with a stacked lineup of stars in the elite race categories. In the elite women’s race, Jepokosgei, whose London Marathon was her first last year, will be looking at last year’s second and third place finishers Degitu Azimeraw and Ashete Bekere. Less than a week before the start of the marathon, world record holder Brigid Kosgei withdrew from competition due to a right hamstring injury. While Mo Farah will not compete in the elite men’s race, Lemma will face marathon stars such as Kenenisa Bekele and Birhanu Legese.
