Sabastian Sawe Gives Kenya Another London Title as Marathon Legend Kipchoge Stumbles

"I was well prepared for this race and that is why it is an honour for me to have won."
Sawe’s celebration was as commanding as his run; he raised his arms high and stuck out his tongue as he powered down the final stretch.
