RIO DE JANEIRO -- The intruder leaped over the barriers, darted onto the Olympic marathon course and was caught by security.It was a scary but familiar moment for Kenyan runner Jemima Jelagat Sumgong. Only four months ago, in April, a man also ran onto the course as Sumgong competed in the London Marathon.Reassuringly for the 31-year-old athlete, Sundays outcome in Rio de Janeiro was the same as in London: The intruder was stopped and Sumgong earned the victory.She became the first Kenyan woman to win the Olympic marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 24 minutes, 4 seconds in hot and sunny weather.Kenyan-born Eunice Kirwa, who now runs for Bahrain, was nine seconds behind, and world champion Mare Dibaba of Ethiopia took bronze.Although a public security spokesman initially reported two people were taken into custody, police later said a 25-year-old woman was facing charges of invading competition venues.The outcome of the race could have been very different had it not been for the quick action by the National Force.With about a kilometer (half a mile) to go to the finish line at the Sambadrome parade grounds, an intruder with a sign jumped over barriers along the route ahead of Sumgong and the other runners but was intercepted immediately by two security forces on bikes. The protester then jumped over fencing on the left side of the road, and Sumgong and the other runners continued unhindered.I was scared, Sumgong said, adding that she was thinking: If not me, he could grab one of my colleagues.Thats what happened in the mens marathon at the 2004 Olympics. Vanderlei de Lima was tackled by a spectator as he was leading. Twelve years later, the Brazilian lit the cauldron in the Aug. 5 opening ceremony to begin the Rio Games.De Lima had to settle for bronze in Athens, but Sumgong collected gold after maintaining her cool and focus in the heat.I was never worried that Id lose this, Sumgong said. At 40 kilometers, I knew the gold was mine. At 35 kilometers, I noticed that my other two teammates had dropped off, and that gave me the motivation to carry on.At 40 kilometers, I saw there were three of us, but I knew whatever happened, I couldnt lose the gold and then I knew I was on the way to history.The breakaway began with about seven kilometers to go.It was very hot, but everybody had to get through the heat, Sumgong said. I had to control my body and listen to my body very carefully.Sumgong is only the third Kenyan woman to become an Olympic champion, following wins on the track at the 2008 Beijing Games for Pamela Jelimo (800 meters) and Nancy Jebet Langat (1,500 meters).I was in Beijing, but I was pretty disappointed that I wasnt able to win a medal or make it on the podium, Sumgong said. But I knew one time, one day, Id be somewhere. Im so happy. I feel extremely proud.It hasnt been a smooth buildup to the games for Kenya amid doping allegations surrounding its runners. Sumgongs agent, Federico Rosa, was charged last month by Kenyan authorities with six counts related to administering banned substances to two other athletes.In Kenya, we are clean, Sumgong said. I am sure I am clean.The marathon produced a couple of Olympic landmarks.Triplets competed for the first time in an individual event, although only two finished. Lily Luik was the fastest of the 30-year-old Estonian sisters, clocking 2 hours, 48 minutes, 29 seconds to finish in 97th place. Leila Luik ended up 114th in 2 hours, 54 minutes, 38 seconds. But Liina Luik didnt finish, withdrawing before the 35-kilometer mark.It was so hard, Lily said. I saw everybody stopping and everybody suffered.The last-place finisher was the first Cambodian to compete in the Olympic marathon.I think its the spirit of the Olympic Games, said Nary Ly, who took almost an hour longer than Sumgong. Never give up on finishing. Fight until the end.Unlike one of the favorites. Tigist Tufa, the 2015 London Marathon champion, pulled up after 18 kilometers. Butch Byrd .

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Ha Na Jang shot a 10-under 62 in calmer conditions Saturday at rainy Miramar to take a six-stroke lead in the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship.Chasing her third victory of the year, the 24-year-old South Korean player hit a 30-yard flop shot to a foot in steady rain on the par-5 18th for her 10th birdie of the day.Really surprised my play because weather so bad on the back nine, Jang said. But just be patient every hole. Just simple my thinking. Just thinking hitting the flag and hitting the fairway.After shooting a 69 in high wind and early rain Friday for a share of the lead with fellow South Korean player Hee Young Park, Jang had her lowest score in her two-year LPGA Tour career and matched the best round in the three years the event has been played at Miramar.I want keep this, my scorecard, Jang said. Always I want inside my pocket.South Koreas Inbee Park set the Miramar mark in 2014 and Englands Jodi Ewart Shadoff tied it earlier Saturday.Jang birdied three of the last four holes to reach 16-under 200. She hit a wedge to 4 feet on 15, made a 30-foot putt on 16 and closed the bogey-free round with the tap-in on 18 after the flop that landed on a ridge and trickled down.Chinas Shanshan Feng was second after a 67, and Hee Young Park was another shot back after a 69. Canadas Brooke Henderson and South Africas Lee-Anne Pace each shot 69 to get to 8 under.I dont really look at leaderboards, Feng said. But somebody else told me Ha Na shot like 62 today. ... Somebody shot 62 today. Maybe Ill shoot 62 tomorrow. Who knows?Shadoff was tied for eighth at 6 under. Aftter opening with rounds of 78 and 70, she birdied 10 of the first 15 holes and closed with three pars.ddddddddddddIt was getting the ball in the fairway, Shadoff said. The rough out here is so thick that its really hard to get spin from the rough. Its tough even chipping from around the greens. So, I was just in the fairway.American Alison Lee also rebounded to get to 6 under, shooting 65.Defending champion Lydia Ko was tied for 16th at 4 under after a 69. The top-ranked New Zealander won by nine strokes last year at 20 under.Jang started fast with a wedge to 3 feet on No. 1 and hit another to 5 feet on the fifth, then holed putts of 10 feet on the sixth, 8 feet from the fringe on the seventh, and 15 feet on the ninth. She chipped in for birdie from 15 feet on 11, and made a 12-footer on 12.Jang won her first tour title in February in Florida and added her second victory three events later in Singapore.She also drew strong criticism in South Korea for her flamboyant victory celebrations -- a Samurai Lasso routine in Ocala and a Beyonce Single Ladies dance in Singapore -- and a freak accident that sidelined rival In Gee Chun with a back injury. Before the Singapore tournament, Jangs father dropped a hard-case suitcase that tumbled down an airport escalator and struck Chun.She was asked about a possible victory celebration.I dont want to tell nobody. Just top secret, Jang said. I think not much like dance or something, just little quiet celebration. ' ' '
