How do we know this is true?
I have a good sniff detector and this seems like one of those made up hoaxes so she can get publicity.

She’s trying to create PR for herself.
She’s helping Afghan girls. I don’t think she’s getting legit death threats.

This is shocking and completely unacceptable. No athlete should have to fear for their life while competing. The event organizers must take immediate action to ensure the safety of all participants and prevent such threats in the future.

What a bunch of bull.
If you are that fearful of your life you probably shouldn't post your intentions on social media for all to watch a race where you can follow every participant live on the race course.41 -
