Israeli marathonist Lonah Chemtai-Salpeter finishes fifth in the women’s London Marathon, scoring her best time of the year at 2 hours, 18 minutes and 54 seconds.
The winner is Joyciline Jepkosgei of Kenya, and world record holder and defending champion Brigid Kosgei finishes fourth.
Chemtai-Salpeter is racing after her disappointment at the Tokyo Olympics, where she was in the leading group until menstrual cramps forced her to slow down in the last few kilometers.
