Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya came home alone in the London Marathon to triumph in a course record time of two hours, three minutes and five seconds. And there was also a Kenyan winner of the womens race as Jemima Sumgong claimed a surprise win, despite taking a heavy fall.Kipchoge is the worlds best in the marathon and the defending champion produced the second-quickest run at the distance in history, just outside the world record mark of 2:02:57 set by Dennis Kimetto. After a duel with New York champion and fellow Kenyan Stanley Biwott, Kipchoge powered away over the final three kilometres to make it six wins from his seven marathons.Biwott finished 46 seconds behind Kipchoge, with Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia taking third. Sumgong crosses the finish line to win the Elite Womens race In the womens race, Sumgong came down at around 23 miles, after an altercation with Aselefech Mergia in an incident that also saw one of the favourites Mary Keitany fall.Sumgong, who had previously been a runner-up in the Boston, Chicago and New York marathons, cracked her head against the floor but managed to fight back and re-join, then pass, the leading group.And she went on to claim her first major title in 2:22.58, as defending champion Tigist Tufa of Ethiopia failed to reel her in down the home stretch and finished five seconds behind, with Florence Kiplagat third.Britains David Weir was again denied a record seventh victory in the mens wheelchair race, which was won by Switzerlands Marcel Hug.Having finished second in 2014 and 2015, Weir came home in third place this time, the 2014 winner Hug powering away in the closing sprint to defeat American Kurt Fearnley.Fearnleys fellow American Tatyana McFadden continued her domination of the womens wheelchair race, claiming her fourth successive victory.She was pushed all the way by Manuela Schar but took the tape at one hour 45 mins 20 secs.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- There was a calm, relaxed atmosphere at the final practice for the U.S. womens basketball team.Maybe its because injured guard Sue Bird was able to participate. Or maybe because many of the players have been in this position before -- a win away from another Olympic title.I understand its a gold medal game, weve approached it like any other game, said Bird, who has helped the U.S. win the last three golds at the Olympics. At the start of this entire month, every single practice and game we approached it like it was a gold medal game. Todays no different.The Americans will play Spain on Saturday in search of a sixth consecutive gold. Spain has already guaranteed itself of a first-ever Olympic medal in womens basketball.It looks like the U.S. will have Bird back for the title tilt. She missed the semifinal win over France as she was recovering from a sprained right knee capsule. She said she felt much better Friday and it showed. After taking part in practice, Bird went through a hard workout when it was finished to test the right knee.She stopped short of saying she definitely would play Saturday.I cant give you an answer for tomorrow, Bird said smiling. I can be happy with the way things have been going. Long term is great, short term is getting better.Bird said the pain is down to about a one or two out of 10. But she isnt going to push it if she doesnt feel comfortable and has the utmost confidence in her teammates if she cant play.Im not going to be dumb about it. Our team isnt built around one person, its built around 12, she said. As they showed yesterday it doesnt matter whos out there we have a really good team. Im not going to do anything stupid.Coach Geno Auriemma, who has worked with Bird for four years at UConn and now eight with USA Basketball, said the decision iss up to Bird whether she plays.dddddddddddd.Shell wake up tomorrow morning and tell us how she feels and well go with that, he said. Whatever Sue says, just having her on the floor, regardless the amount of time we can call on her, believe me the comfort level with our team and coaches went up 100 percent.The U.S. dominated Spain in the preliminary round, beating the Spaniards by 40 points. The Americans also beat Spain in the 2014 world championship title game. Still, the U.S. isnt taking anything for granted.They are really, really good, Diana Taurasi said. Its going to be a hard fought battle and they have been playing really well since we beat them.The test for Spain will be to do what no team has been able to do in Rio: put together a full game against the U.S.France trailed by four at the half on Thursday and still lost by 19. This version of the U.S. womens Olympic team has been simply incredible. Theyve kept the streak started by the 1996 team going and now the Americans have won 48 consecutive contests. Theyve won the seven games in the Olympics by an average of nearly 40 points and are putting up 102.3 points a contest -- just a hair behind the record set by the `96 squad.Saturdays contest will be the last Olympic game for Tamika Catchings, who is retiring at the end of the WNBA season next month. Bird and Diana Taurasi have also hinted this will probably be their Olympic finale as well.Thats the elephant in the room that no one is talking about, Taurasi said. Were really focused on the game at hand and not what lies ahead after that.---Online:AP Summer Games website: http://summergames.ap.org/---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg ' ' '
