Absolute FIGHTER ❤️ After running on world record pace for 40km, Tigst Assefa was hit by an injury in the closing kilometres of the @berlinmarathonE. Visibly limping to the line, she still manages to clock a big PB and third-fastest marathon in history with 2:11:04 💪

La valiente táctica de Likina Amebaw le llevó a arrasar en los 5.000m con 14:30. Vuelve a competir por Etiopía y renuncia al cambio de nacionalidad...pero no quiere hablar del tema.
