Read our privacy policy Paula Radcliffe has seen her 16-year-old women's marathon world record shattered by Brigid Kosgei as the Kenyan set a new mark of two hours, 14 minutes and four seconds in Chicago. Kosgei, the defending Chicago champion who also won the London Marathon last year, said she had not set out with the expectation of eclipsing Radcliffe's historic mark. But after passing through the halfway point in 1.06.59, well inside world record pace, Kosgei maintained her pace and crossed the line almost seven minutes in front of second-placed Ababel Yeshaneh of Ethiopia. Radcliffe had set her first marathon world record in Chicago in 2002 before lowering the mark in London the following year to the one that would prove persistently impossible to beat.
