Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa smashed the women-only world record by 26 seconds en route to London Marathon victory on Sunday morning.
The 28-year-old clocked two hours, 15 minutes, 50 seconds to finally finish on the top of the podium after collecting silver at last year's edition - where Peres Jepchirchir had set the previous mark of 2:16:16 - and the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she was beaten by Sifan Hassan.
