STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBUDAPEST -Uganda's Victor Kiplangat won the men's marathon at the World Athletics Championships on Sunday, while Maru Teferi of Israel finished with silver despite taking a tumble.
"When I reached 30 km I knew I felt strong and decided to push. I had great energy and that allowed me to go. Then at 35 km I could surge again," Kiplangat said after his victory. Teferi, who fell over in the latter stages of the race before roaring back to claim silver, said:"I wanted to get the best out of me and this competition was my biggest target. I am glad I managed to fulfil my dream.
"I was trying my best. I was feeling good until 30 km. But after that, I started to have a bad feeling in my stomach," Tola said.The early pace was perhaps more brisk than the athletes would have preferred in the conditions, as the chasing pack attempted to keep within touching distance of early leader Ser-Od Bat-Ochir of Mongolia.
