Hassan won in a Games record of two hours 22 minutes and 55 seconds, just three seconds ahead of Assefa, with the bronze going to Kenyan Hellen Obiri. Hassan – a mutiple world and Olympic champion across a variety of distances – had previously won bronze medals in the 5000m and 10,000m in Paris. Australians Jess Stenson and Genevieve Gregson shared a smile as they each took a turn at the lead at the halfway stage on Sunday. Stenson, 36, ran on strongly to finish 13th in 2:26:45, while the 34-year-old Gregson did it tough in the last few kilometres, crossing the line in 24th spot in 2:29:56. The third ***********, Sinead Diver, pulled out very early in the race with what was later diagnosed as bilateral cramping in both quadriceps. Stenson had an anxious wait before her place in the *********** team was confirmed in early July after four-time Olympian Lisa Weightman unsuccessfully appealed her non-selection. The only *********** to win an Olympic marathon medal was Lisa Ondieki, who was second in the women’s race in Seoul in 1988.
