World Champions

The new Marathon world champion, Xue Bai (left), is still finding time and power to support her fellow Chinese runner with a sponge. This is the scene after 27km on the route.

Sabrina Mockenhaupt, nickname "Mocki", did a very good job finishing 17th after 2:30:07 on a very hot day in Berlin.

Germany's Susanne Hahn proved to be strong and finished 34th with 2:38:39.

My world championships gallery is to come on Tuesday evening.
