Athletics-Kenya's Keitany breaks women's only world record at London Marathon
April 23 (Reuters) - Kenya's Mary Keitany broke the women's only world record en route to her third London Marathon gold medal on Sunday, finishing in a time of 2:17.01 hours to beat Paula Radcliffe's time of 2:17.42 set in London in 2005. Radcliffe still holds the overall record of 2:15.25, which she set in a mixed gender race at the London Marathon in 2003. The IAAF recognises two marathon world records for women, one for "mixed gender" and the other for "women only". (Reporting by Simon Jennings in Bengaluru, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
