Daniel Wanjiru of Kenya has won the 2017 men's London Marathon.
He held off the challenge of Kenenisa Bekele, who holds the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres world records as well as eight Olympic and world titles, to win in 2:05.48.
It was the biggest victory of his career, having previously won the 2016 Amsterdam Marathon, while Bedan Karoki was third.
"Yes, everything is possible," Wanjiru told the BBC when asked if he could break the world record.
"At the beginning the race was very fast, inside world record pace. As the race was very fast anything can happen.
"It was becoming tougher and tougher. We pushed and the sun was coming up and the day was beautiful. I have tasted world record pace which was good for me."
Robbie Simpson and Andrew Davies finished 15th and 16th respectively while Swansea's Josh Griffiths, running his first marathon, was the first Briton across the line in the mass event in 2:14.49 and could now qualify for the British team for the World Championships.
