world Women Marathon History

Finish:
87 competitors from 52 nations.
The heat of Atlanta meant that the race needed to start early, and at 7:05 the runners set off with temperatures which would not climb beyond 21°C. Uta Pippig (GER), who had run 2:21:45 in Boston in 1994, went to the front and led past 10km in 34:37. At 12km she began to fall back, eventually dropping out. Elana Meyer, silver medallist over 10,000m in Barcelona, retired with a damaged Achilles tendon at 15km. At 18km Roba made a break, passing 20km in 1:08:45 with a six second lead over the pack. By 30km the lead had stretched to 1:01 over Akimori and Yegorova after a 34:12 section. The Ethiopian continued to build the lead, though her pace slowed in the later stages, and she finished exactly two minutes clear of Yegorova. The Russian’s silver medal was the best effort in defence of a title by a female marathon runner. Akimori again placed one position behind Yegorova, though veteran Dörre almost caught her, picking up 13 seconds in the last two kilome- tres.
