Sisay Lemma earned his redemption in Boston on Monday, dethroning defending champion Evans Chebet and punching his ticket for the Paris Olympics.

Hellen Obiri unleashed her trademark kick in the final stages of the Boston Marathon to conclude an epic duel between herself and Sharon Lokedi, while a 44-year-old Edna Kiplagat ensured a Kenyan sweep of the podium.

Hellen Obiri and Evans Chebet will return to Massachusetts tomorrow in an attempt to defend their Boston Marathon titles. Obiri, among others, will be looking to solidify her place in the Kenyan Olympic squad, while Chebet will be doing his best to make Athletics Kenya reconsider their decision to leave him off their shortlist for the Olympic marathon.
