Key claims and evidence

Key claims in source A

  • Yomif Kejelcha finished just 11 seconds behind, as Jacob Kiplimo, too, raced under the old WR.
  • He truly never looked out of his comfort zone despite having debutant Yomif Kejelcha on his shoulder until just before the 25-mile mark.
  • However, many pundits subscribe to the view that the marathon only really starts once 25K has passed and so it proved in London.
  • At around 31K Sawe cranked up the pace more severely and only Kejelcha went with him.
