Monday, 28 January 2008

OSAKA (AP) -- England's Mara Yamauchi won the Osaka International Women's Marathon on Sunday, finishing 24 seconds ahead of Japan's Tomo Morimoto.

Yamauchi clocked a personal-best time of 2 hours, 25 minutes, 10 seconds, three seconds faster than her previous best.

Morimoto finished with a time of 2:25:34 while Kenya's Julia Mumbi was third in 2:26:00.

Yamauchi, who has a Japanese husband, finished fifth in Tokyo in 2005 and had back-to-back sixth-place finishes in London in 2006 and 2007.
