A sweep of repeat champions at 130th Boston Marathon

It was a day of repeat champions in the 130th running of the Boston Marathon.

Close to 30,000 athletes made their way from Hopkinton to Boston in chilly conditions, with a tail wind providing a bit of a boost. The men's winner, defending champion John Korir of Kenya, broke the 15-year-old course record by more than one minute.

Last year's winner in the women's race, Kenyan runner Sharon Lokedi, won for a second year in a row after breaking from a tight pack of women in the Newton Hills.

In the wheelchair division, Switzerland's Marcel Hug won his ninth Boston Marathon title. Eden Rainbow-Cooper won for a second time, two years after her first Boston victory.
