Daniele Meucci of Italy won men's marathon gold at the European Championships in Zurich earlier today.
The 28-year-old set a new personal best of 2:11.08 to finish almost a minute clear of the field.
"We are working on Italy continuing to write marathon history," Meucci told reporters. "This is only my fourth marathon. I never looked at the time, at the pace. I only looked at my competitors and at my own sensations."
Poland's Yared Shegumo took the silver [2:12.00], while Aleksey Reunkov of Russia [2:12.15] claimed bronze.
