Marathon

women's event:

Kerryn McCann has courageously won her second consecutive Commonwealth Gold medal, winning the Women's Marathon in a time of 2:30.53.

McCann led throughout the race, only being headed once at the 10 kilometer mark.

"I came up to the stadium thinking, 'Silver's pretty darn good. I'd be happy with silver'," I came through the tunnel and heard the crowd roar. That wasn't me running that last 300 meters." McCann said.

Kenyan Hellen Cherono Koskei, ran a gallant second place

men's event:

Samson Ramadhani Nyonyi of Tanzania has won an action packed Men's Marathon in a time of 2:11: 29 .

Amid-race mishap helped the Tanzanian to take gold from Kenyan Fred Mogaka Tumbo. Bronze went to England's Daniel Robinson who was three minutes behind Ramadhani Nyonyi.

Isegwe Njunguda of Tanzania had led for most of the race but had to withdraw after suffering severe cramp in his legs.
The Tanzanian's withdrawal left Kenyan Fred Mogaka Tumbo over 500 meters in front of his nearest competitor at the race's halfway stage.
Ramadhani Nyonyi gradually caught the Kenyan in the last half of the race to beat him by 32 seconds.

Australia's Scott Westcott and Andrew Letherby finished in fourth and fifth places.
