The 31-year-old clocked a time of two hours, three minutes, 23 seconds to better the previous mark set by Patrick Makau two years ago. Fellow Kenyans Eliud Kipchoge (2:04:05) and Geoffrey Kipsang (2:06:26) finished second and third respectively.

Kipsang competed in his first Olympics in London last year, where he finished third. Speaking after the race, he said: 'I'm very happy that I have won and broken the world record. 'I was really inspired by [fellow Kenyan] Paul Tergat when he broke the world record here 10 years ago and I'm very happy that I was in a position to break the record on the same course.'
