Méline Rollin beats the 14-year-old French marathon record in 2 h 24 min 12. The Frenchwoman finished 8th in the Seville Marathon and improved Christelle Daunay's record by 10 seconds.
Morhad Amdouni, who also exploded his own French record on Sunday over the distance, also finished eighth among the women. Rollin also has a big option for the Olympic selection and could run in the 2016 Rio Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
