ATHLETICS
Kenyans Sammy Kosgei and Mary Keitany demolished the
existing world records when storming to victories at the BIG 25
kilometres road race in Berlin this morning. Kosgei posted a time of
one hour 11 minutes 50 seconds to better the previous record of 1hr
12mins 45secs held by his fellow countryman Paul Kosgei. Gilbert
Kirwa, runner-up today, also beat the old record with a time of
1:11.58 while Ethiopia's Terefe Maregu prevented a Kenyan clean sweep
of the podium by finishing third in 1:13.16. Keitany, relishing the
perfect conditions, remained comfortably on world-record schedule
throughout the race, finishing in 1:19.53. Keitany's time decimated
the previous best of 1:22.13 set by Japan's Mizuki Noguchi in 2005.
RALLYING
Ford's Jari-Matti Latvala won Rally New Zealand on a
drama-filled final day on the gravel roads of the Waikato. The Finn,
who began the day in third spot behind the two Citroen drivers
Sebastien Ogier and Sebastien Loeb, snatched victory in the closing
moments of the race to win by 2.4 seconds after Ogier spun his
Citroen C4 three corners from the finish.
SWIMMING
Britain's swimmers dominated the 10km event at the LEN
