The four-time Olympic champion came home fifth behind marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya on Sunday.

Sir Mo Farah insisted his public fall-out with Haile Gebrselassie did not affect him despite finishing only fifth in the Virgin Money London Marathon.

Farah ended a week in which he was savaged by one distance running great by being blown away by another around the streets of the capital.

The four-time Olympic champion was bidding to win the London Marathon for the first time, but he could not live with the extraordinary Eliud Kipchoge who romped to a record fourth victory.

In the women's race, Brigid Kosgei of Kenya went one better than last year with victory ahead of 2018 winner Vivian Cheruiyot.

Britain's Charlotte Purdue beat her personal best as she finished 10th.

David Weir's bid to win a ninth men's wheelchair race ended in disappointment.

The 39-year-old six-time Paralympic gold medallist, competing in his 20th London Marathon, finished fifth behind American winner Dan Romanchuk.

The women's wheelchair race was won by Manuela Schar of Switzerland for the second time.
