I think by her own admission, marathons aren't her thing because she's just not fast enough for the shorter distance compared to the ultras.

Yeah but those are mostly ultra marathons. She's never won a normal marathon as far as I know or even finished in the top 3. Could be wrong...

I am surprised to see Gerda so far back though compared to her 15th place finish in Tokyo 2021. Not having her best day.

And an Olympic record?! After running an extra 20km with those hills? Superhuman performance.

How many times in this Olympics have Ethiopian women gotten physical when they see they're going to lose?

Should be a ban for that. Or a yellow card.
