  7. 'Tough conditions' - Weir

    Eight-time winner David Weir said on BBC TV:

    "It was very tough conditions.

    "I knew it would be a sprinter's race. I knew Brent Lakatos would be the strongest over the sprints.

    "I gave it my best. I haven't beaten Marcel Hug for two years so that is something.

    "Mentally I thought I would find it tough. I was dreading it because I don't like going round in circles. But it was alright. It was different."

  8. 'I didn't know if I could hold on' - Lakatos

    Men's winner Brent Lakatos said on BBC TV:

    "The London Marathon is the biggest marathon out there.

    "When they suggested they might have an elite-only race it gave me motivation. My training has gone well all summer long.

    "On the final lap I knew Marcel Hug was right there. I didn't know if I'd be able to hold on but I got lucky."

  9. Post update

    Manuela Shar makes it across the line but she looked like she really struggled there.

    The Swiss shouts her congratulations at Den Boer as she passes her.

  10. BreakingDen Boer wins women's wheelchair race

    As if it wasn't already a big enough personal best, Nikita den Boer puts in a big sprint finish to cut down her time even more.

    She finishes in 1:40.07. Her previous PB was 1:50.23. Incredible.

    BBC Sport commentator

    Manuela Shar looked so comfortable for so long. It will be interesting to hear from her what has happened.

  12. Post update

    No sprint finish needed for Nikita den Boer in the women's race.

    An absolutely incredible performance sees her way ahead of favourite Manuela Shar as she nears the end.

  13. BreakingLakatos wins men's wheelchair race

    A fairly easy win in the end for Brent Lakatos.

    He did most of the work all the way through so it's a deserved win. And somehow, he's got the most left in the tank as well to sprint to the line.

    Britain's David Weir finishes second and Marcel Hug third.

  14. Post update

    Brent Lakatos surges ahead and opens a tiny gap with Marcel Hug but David Weir pushes forward to catch up.

    Sprint finish incoming.

  15. Post update

    This is such a tactical race. Brent Lakatos has gone out to the front and the rest of the athletes are just waiting to see what happens.

  16. Men begin final lap

    The men take the bell for the last lap and they are still in a group of six.

    Britain's David Weir, Canada's Brent Lakatos and Switzerland's Marcel Hug are all in the mix.

    Six-time London Marathon wheelchair race winner on BBC TV

    I wonder if Manuela Shar will consider not finishing.

  18. Post update

    Nikita Den Boer is still pulling away from Manuela Shar.

    This was not at all in the script. The Dutchwoman's personal best is 1:50.23, Shar's is 01:28.17.

  19. Woods drops out

    Sad news.

    Britain's Shelly Woods, a two-time champion who is racing at London for the first time in four years since the birth of her son, has dropped out.

  20. Post update

    In the last sprint for the men, Canada's Brent Lakatos emerges victorious.

    They're all back together in a leading pack of six now on the penultimate lap.
