Ath: Noguchi wins marathon, Radcliffe weeps =2
When Noguchi made her decisive surge at 25km she was accompanied by Ethiopia's Elefenesh
Alemu, who was to eventually finish fourth.
The 26-year-old Japanese runner then pushed again three kilometres further down the
road and was never headed.
Kenya's Ndereba recovered from a difficult spell in the middle of the race to get the
silver medal in 2:26.32, closing dramatically on Noguchi in the final three kilometres.
Kastor came through strongly in the later stages of the race to get the bronze in 2:27:20,
sobbing uncontrollably down the finishing straight in Athens' 1896 Olympic stadium.
