Men’s marathon: As we await today’s action, let’s run through what took place in the morning session/overnight. Alphonce Felix Simbu snatched gold in the first photo-finish at a major championship marathon edging out Germany’s Amanal Petros in a dramatic race to the line to give Tanzania its maiden world title.

The photo-finish showed the race was decided by three hundredths of a second as Simbu surged past the diving Petros at the line, closer than the 0.05-second gap between the gold and silver medallists in the men’s 100m final the day before.
