 Victors - The times may have been 
                                      rounded up, but their dominance was clear. 
                                      Khannouchi savors his fourth Chicago title, 
                                      while Radcliffe shatters the World Record.
 
 
 
  
 While both were timed at 2:06:16, Daniel 
                                      Njenga (#29) edges Toshinari Takaoka for 
                                      second. Two seconds later Paul Tergat crossed 
                                      the line.
 
 
 
    
 A quick breath, then joy for the 32-year-old 
                                      Takaoka after knocking nearly three and 
                                      a half minutes from his previous best. His 
                                      2:06:16 was also an Asian Record.
 
 
 
    
 Ndereba was a distant runner-up in 2:19:26.
 
 
 
    
 3rd and 4th - Yoko Shibui (l) was 
                                      third in a personal best 2:21:22, while 
                                      Svetlana Zakharova lowered her own Russian 
                                      national record to 2:21:31, finishing fourth.
 
 
 
    
 
 5th and 6th - Ever-consistent

                                      sub-2:07 to finish fifth in 2:06:46, while 
                                      Alan Culpepper turned in an impressive debut 
                                      effort of 2:09:41, finishing sixth.
