Focus shifts to London after Ethiopia takes the spoils in Boston
A week of world class marathon running kicked off in style today as four exciting races at the 120th Boston Marathon provided a tasty appetizer for what's to come at the April 24, 2016 Virgin Money London Marathon and the remainder of the races in the Abbott World Marathon Series X.
It was Ethiopia's day in the elite events as the east African nation swept the men's medals and went one-two in the women's for the first time ever, while Marcel Hug and Tatyana McFadden defended their wheelchair crowns just six days before racing for the IPC Athletics Marathon World Cup in London.
