Kenya's John Kelai shattered a 31-year-old record for the marathon in Canada yesterday, besting more than 2,000 runners in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon with a time of two hours nine minutes and 30 seconds.
The old record of 2:09:55 was set at the Montreal Summer Olympic Games in 1976 by East Germany's Waldemar Cierpinski.
