Kenya's Kiptum breaks London Marathon record, Hassan makes stunning debut (via MultiSportPH )
Hassan, who has won Olympic gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, made a dramatic comeback after an early injury to prevail over Olympic championand defending London champion Yelamzerf Yehualaw in what organizers said was the best ever elite women’s field for the event.The 30-year-old looked to be in pain around the hip flexor just under an hour in, falling behind as she stopped and stretched, but she caught up with the leading pack with just over six kilometers to go.
“I learned to be patient and just to run your own race,” Hassan told a news conference. “Just keep going as much as possible and maybe you will surprise yourself.” Hassan said she planned to run the marathon in either Chicago or New York later this year after focusing on the track for the World Athletics Championships in Budapest in August.

39 bodies dug up in cult investigation of pastor in KenyaNAIROBI, Kenya: Thirty-nine bodies have been found so far on land owned by a pastor in coastal Kenya who was arrested for telling his followers to fast to death.Malindi sub-county police chief John Kemboi said that more shallow graves have yet to be dug up on the land belonging to pastor Paul Makenzi, who was arrested on April 14 over links to cultism.The total death toll is 43, because a further four people died after they and others were discovered starving at the Good News International Church last week.Police have asked a court to allow them to hold Makenzi longer as investigations into the deaths of his followers continue.A tipoff from members of the public led police to raid the pastor's property in Malindi, where they found 15 emaciated people, including the four who later died. The followers said they were starving on the pastor's instructions in order to meet Jesus.Police had been told there were dozens of shallow graves spread across Makenzi's farm and digging started on Friday.Makenzi has been on hunger strike for the past four days while in police custody.The pastor has been arrested twice before, in 2019 and in March of this year, in relation to the deaths of children. Each time, he was released on bond, and both cases are still proceeding through the court.Local politicians have urged the court not to release him this time, decrying the spread of cults in the Malindi area.Cults are common in Kenya, which has a largely religious society.
