Mulugeta Uma won the men's race in the Paris Marathon and Mestawut Fikir took the women's title in her first outing at the distance to complete an Ethiopian double on Sunday.

The Ethiopian's winning time of 2hr 5min 33sec sliced more than half a minute off his previous personal best of 2:06.07.


In the women's race, Fikir showed enormous promise in the first full marathon of her career as the 24-year-old overhauled her compatriot Enat Tirusew to win in 2:20.45.
