Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Kenya’s Jepchirchir wins marathon, plus diving, boxing and more – LIVE!

Women’s Marathon: The Olympic marathon is considered the ultimate test, but it is usually just because of the competition. Summer is half the battle today. Kenya’s Perez Jepchirchir next to take gold, his partner World record holder Brigitte Kosgei braces for silver. And IIt’s a Brilliant Bronze for the United States’ Molly Seidel In her third marathon – she screams with joy as she crosses the line. If I don’t win an Olympic medal in my third marathon, I won’t be happy. Winning time is 2hr 27min 20sec.

Women’s Marathon: Brigitte Kosgei’s personal best (and world record) is 2hr 14min. She’s nowhere to be found in this scorching heat today and she can’t even find gold: Perez Jepchirchir has abandoned his Kenyan teammate! Kosgei looks uneasy now. He should still get the silver medal but a lot can happen in 1km or so.

Women’s Marathon: Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir look back as runners walk into some blessed shadow on the campus of Hokkaido University. He must have seen Seidel of USA slipping into the distance. It is now between two Kenyans for silver and gold. About 1.6 miles to go.

Women’s Marathon: And a big break! Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir have overtaken the field. The United States’ Seidel is probably 10 seconds behind in bronze, while Israel’s Salpeter has been slow to walk. If her race isn’t over, her medal is likely. Have to go two miles.

Women’s Marathon: Temperatures continue to climb in Sapporo as the morning progresses. Athletes are looking for the shady side of the road whenever they can. USA’s Molly Seidel is now starting to decline leading the pack. His inexperience is now coming into play…

Women’s Marathon: Yes, Chumba is definitely leaving the leading pack, so now we have Seidel of USA, Kosgei and Jepchirchir of Kenya and Salpeter of Israel in search of medals. This is only Seidel’s third marathon and she looks quite comfortable as the athletes take a drink from the feeding station.

Women’s Marathon: There is just over four miles to go and the major pack is down to Bahrain’s Chumba, USA’s Seidel, Kenya’s Kosgei and Jepchirchir, and Israel’s Salpeter. But the kiss has started flowing. One of these women will be an Olympic champion.

So, the end is near – and I’m not just talking Gulf Stream collapse. Yes, the Olympics are nearing their end – as is the women’s marathon as athletes race the streets of Sapporo (we’ve moved north to escape the Tokyo heat. Although it’s hot in Sapporo too). We’ll have more in the big races soon, but in the meantime my colleague Martin Bellum highlights Day 15.
