Kenyans Sweep Boston Marathon

Korir outran the strongest field in the event's history, aided by a tailwind that helped him blister the previous record.

Sharon Lokedi also repeated her victory in the women's division, maintaining Kenya's dominance in the world-famous 26.2-mile race.

American runners Zouhair Talbi and Jess McClain set new national course records, both finishing fifth in their respective categories.

The 130th edition of the marathon was held under unseasonably chilly conditions that were relished by the elite athletes.
