Just saw in Tim Rowberry’s (her coach) Instagram post that Sifan will make her marathon debut in London in April. Obviously she has fantastic potential at the distance, should make for an exciting race.
De olympisch kampioen op de 5.000 en 10.000 neemt op 23 april deel aan de prestigieuze marathon van Londen. "Afhankelijk van die ervaring kijk ik wat ik ga doen op de Spelen."
okay fair, i think she will have success under Ritz in the 10k, but she already made the decision to switch to the marathons last year. There's way more money in roads as well.
Three current world record holders, two reigning Olympic champions and four national record holders are included in elite women's field for the 2023 TCS London Marathon.
Jepchirchir is a total racer. She's won every marathon she's raced since 2019. That includes flat courses like Valencia and hilly courses like Boston and New York. It's not quite Kipchoge levels of consistency, but it's getting there. Smart money is on her to win
