New Delhi, Oct. 13 -- Kenya's Alex Matata put the ghosts of his loss to two-time Olympic champion Joshua Cheptegei in last year's Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon to rest by completing a commanding victory at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Sunday. Matata picked up pace at the halfway mark and raced so far ahead of the field that there was no rival in sight in the last few kilometres. He sped to victory in 59:50 mins and had track and field legend Carl Lewis cheering him on at the finish line. Ethiopia's Bayelign Teshager was 32 seconds behind for second place while James Kipkogei, also from Kenya, came third in 1:00:25 hrs. In the women's section, it was quite the opposite. The competition was much tighter and more exciting. Kenya's Lilian Kasait Rengeruk saw off fierce challenges from Ethiopians Melal Siyoum Biratu and Mulat Tekele to take the top spot. Lilian, one of the pre-race favourites, finished with a timing of 01:07:20 hrs, just about beating Biratu (01:07:21) to the finish. Tekle was third at 1:07:29....
