---

Scot Callum Hawkins has qualified for this summer's Rio Olympics after finishing eighth in the London Marathon in a new personal best time of 2:10:52. The 23-year-old, from the Kilbarchan Athletics Club in Renfrewshire, was the first British athlete to finish, well inside the 2:14:00 qualifying mark. Tsegai Tewelde, a Glasgow-based Eritrean who claimed asylum in Britain, will also be in Rio after coming 12th. Yūki Satō; born 26 November 1986 in Shimizu, Shizuoka) is a Japanese long-distance runner. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the Men's 5000 metres, finished 26th overall in Round 1, and thus failed to qualify for the final.
