Zara First Back

Last updated : 23 April 2006 By Covsupport
Zara Hyde-Peters was the first Coventrian to finish in the London Marathon this morning.

Zara finished in 36th place with a time of 2.54.49.

There were no male Coventrians in the first five hundred. American Deena Kastor won the women's race with Kenyan Felix Limo winning the men's race.

Last night, Coventry boxer Steve Bendall failed to land the European middleweight title this evening at SAP Arena, Mannheim, Germany, when he was stopped in three rounds by local favourite Sebastian Sylvester.

This was Sky Blues fan Bendall's second defeat in 26 professional outings.
