Wheelchair racing superstar Madison de Rozario has capped an emotion-charged few weeks with a dominant victory in the Sydney marathon, while Kenya's Brimin Misoi and Workenesh Edesa Gurmesa of Ethiopia set course records in the men's and women's able-bodied races.

Just days after returning home from the Paris Paralympics, De Rozario crossed the finish line in one hour 54 minutes 10 seconds, more than a quarter of an hour ahead of her closest challenger, fellow Australian Christie Dawes (2:09:18).
