Records Smashed At Ninth Annual Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Ethiopia's Mulu Seboka didn't let humid and breezy 
conditions slow her down as she set a new personal best of 2:29:06 to 
convincingly win the 9th Annual Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Her 
performance smashed the previos course record by more than four minutes, 
set last year by compatriot Asha Gigi, who was third today. Ukraine's Olena 
Shurkhno ran a very smart race to come through for second in 2:30:13, a PR 
by more three minutes. The men's race proved far more tactical, and was 
decided in an exciting sprint to the line as Kenneth Mungara held off 
fellow-Kenyan Peter Kiprotich by 2 seconds for the victory, 2:11:01 to 
2:11:03.
