Kiprop, Lilesa win in Tokyo
Ethiopian Feyisa Lilesa and Kenyan Helah Kiprop were victorious in the Tokyo Marathon.
Helah Kiprop broke the course record at the Tokyo Marathon as Feyisa Lilesa also claimed victory on Sunday.
Kiprop, second in the race last year, clocked a time of two minutes, 21.27 seconds to break the record previously held by Ethiopia's Tirfi Tsegaye (2014).
The Kenyan, a silver medallist at the world championships in Beijing last year, was followed over the line by Amane Gobena and Edna Kiplagat.
In the men's event, Lilesa was a comfortable winner.
The Ethiopian, who won bronze in Daegu in 2011, beat Bernard Kipyego and 2014 winner Dickson Chumba with a time of 2:06.56.
