London: Alexander Mutiso Munyao beat three-time Olympic track champion Kenenisa Bekele to win the London marathon on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Kenyan came home in a time of 2 hours 4 minutes 01 second with Britain's Emile Cairess in third.
The race was preceded by 30 seconds of applause for last year's winner Kelvin Kiptum, who was killed in a car accident in February.
Munyao ensured a poignant day ended with another Kenyan victory but only after being pushed by the 41-year-old Bekele.
The Ethiopian, who has won Olympic gold in both the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres, came close to winning on the streets of the British capital for the first time.
