Tuesday, 9 October 2018
UNITED STATES, Oct 08 (Reuters): Mo Farah scored a stunning Chicago Marathon victory as he won in an unofficial two hours five minutes, 11 seconds in only his third race over the distance Sunday.
After biding his time for much of the race, the British four-time Olympic track champion surged to the lead in the final four miles and broke Ethiopian Mosinet Geremew to shatter the European marathon record of 2:05:48 despite wet and sometimes windy conditions.
