This women's winner Tigist Assefa is a CRAZY story. She loves Berlin. In 2014, she won the ISTAF Berlin meet on the track - in the 800 in 2:00.16!!! She also ran 1:59.24 that year. Never made worlds or the Olympics in the 800.
Moves to the roads and runs 34:35 for 10k in 2018, 31:45 and 68:24 in 2019. No results at all in 2020 or 2021. This year she started by making her marathon debut in Riyadh in 2:34:01 in March forf 7th place. Then she runs 30:52/67:28 and now this!! My God
No doubt amazing however I personally would rather have the previous WR and all 5 of the WMM. Maybe he will still do it- Boston in Spring, NYC next year. I keep waiting for him to slip but he looks invincible
