American Nathan Martin (46:00) also finished under the old AR mark (46:11) as well. In the women's race, Uganda's Sarah Chelangat (51:14) broke the women's course record as American Emily Durgin (51:26) ran fast to finish 2nd.
Monti raves how 13 women have the 2:26:50 Olympic standard and is troubled that only 2 men have the 2:08:10 standard. Well, it should be noted that 43 men have run within 11.2% of the men's WR (2:14:15) which is how far 2:26:50 is off the women's WR.
