Transcript

00:00Protestants tried to disrupt the 45th London Marathon.

00:05The elite male runners were coming over Tower Bridge

00:08when two activists from Youth Demand jumped over the barrier and threw paint.

00:20They were arrested by police.

00:24Fortunately, it didn't deter the athletes

00:27as Kenya's Sebastian Soar finished first in the men's race.

00:31Ethiopia's Tigist Asifa won the women's,

00:35setting a new women's-only world record.

00:38And Swiss wheelchair racers Marcel Hug and Catherine Debruner clinched gold.

00:43With 56,000 people taking part overall,

00:47this year could set a record for the world's biggest marathon.

00:50All the strenuous, sweaty hours of training finally paying off.

00:56Just absolutely elated.

00:59I just want to say thank you to my coach and my mum and dad,

01:03because I'm so proud of myself and they've supported me the whole way through.

01:08And my coach really told me to believe in myself.

01:11Temperatures reached 22 degrees Celsius.

01:15Many struggled with the heat,

01:17particularly those in costumes fundraising for charities.

01:20The hottest day, just the hardest, toughest marathon.

01:27But the cheering crowds in London help motivate the athletes

01:31as they race past the city's most iconic landmarks.

01:35Far exceeded my expectations.

01:36I did Boston on Monday, so this is my second marathon this week.

01:40And I have to say London's a lot better than Boston.

01:42For some, the London Marathon is an important professional moment.

01:47I'm so proud.

01:50I'm so proud.

01:51For others, it can be a more personal journey.

01:54Either way, they're always relieved to finally cross the finishing line.

02:02Thank you, Mr. demand list.
