Edna Kiplagat led a Kenyan sweep in the women's marathon Saturday after recovering from a fall to the ground on the opening day of the athletics world championships.

Kiplagat won the race in 2 hours, 28 minutes, 43 seconds to claim the first gold medal of the competition despite tripping and falling at a water stop near the end of the race.

A few minutes later, she pulled away from teammates Priscah Jeptoo and Sharon Cherop.
