London Marathon
ATHLETICS FROM 8.30AM, BBC2, BBC1, EUROSPORT 1
Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah is among the field for the London Marathon when the 39-year-old runs his first full marathon since 2019. Farah’s highest finish in the London Marathon was third in 2018, and his time of two hours, five minutes, 11 seconds at the Chicago Marathon in 2018 is a British record. He’ll be up against last year’s champion Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia, while the women’s race features world marathon record holder Brigid Kosgei and defending London Marathon champion Joyciline Jepkosgei. Scotland’s Commonwealth Games 10,000m champion Eilish Mccolgan has withdrawn because of a medical issue. ★★★★ RMC
