Kenya's Sabastian Sawe claimed a commanding victory in the 51st edition of the Berlin Marathon in a time of 2:02:16, while his compatriot Rosemary Wanjiru won the women's race in 2:21:05 on Sunday. Sawe delivered one of the fastest performances of the year but narrowly missed both course and world records. Sawe, 29, set a blistering pace from the start despite unusually warm conditions. Kenya's Rosemary Wanjiru made her decisive move shortly past the halfway point and managed to stay in front until the finish. For Wanjiru, the win confirmed Kenya's dominance as both men's and women's trophies went back to East Africa.
