Sifan Hassan prevailed in a race for the ages thanks to a vicious kick after more than 26 miles to fend off world record holder Tigst Assefa and win gold in the women's marathon at the Olympics on Sunday.

The Netherlands runner, who completed a famous treble of events at Paris 2024, battled the Ethiopian in a burn-up over the final 200m, which got physical as both women clashed near the barriers entering the blue-carpeted finish line.

But Hassan would prevail in an Olympic record time of two hours, 22 minutes and 55 seconds.

Assefa, three seconds behind her, took silver and Kenya's Hellen Obiri claimed the bronze in 2:23:10.

Team GB’s Clara Evans finished 46th in 2:33:01. Here are the results in full from the women’s marathon at Paris 2024:
