1993 This time it was the women's race which attracted all the publicity, with Scotland's Liz McColgan matched against Lisa Ondieki of Australia and Katrin Dorre, the reigning champion from Germany. But, despite all the pre-race hype and war of words between McColgan and Ondieki, it was Dorre who stole the show when she judged her run to perfection to win in 2:27:09. Ondieki, lost for a finishing kick, was runner-up in 2:27:27, while McColgan finished well beaten in third in 2:29:37 - the first defeat of her marathon career. Eamonn Martin, from Basildon, meanwhile provided England with its first winner since 1984 in a race which welcomed NutraSweet as its latest sponsor. In his debut at the distance, the Commonwealth 10,000 metres Champion ran a beautifully judged race to outsprint Mexican Isidro Rico on Westminster Bridge. He crossed the line in 2:10:50. |
