American Molly Seidel wins the bronze medal in just her third marathon ever.
of Kenya, the 2019 world champion who set the half marathon world record in April, fell off the lead pack. She wound up dropping out after about 20 miles. The pack was down to nine through 30K , with Seidel still looking remarkably fresh.
Eight women were still in contention with 10 kilometers to run. Things can change quickly at that stage of a marathon, however, especially in heat and humidity. Just one kilometer later, the pack was down to five—Seidel, Kosgei, Jepchirchir, Lonah Salpeter of Israel, and Eunice Chumba of Bahrain. At 35K , Seidel and Salpeter continued to do most of the work. Kosgei had yet to assert herself.
At the fluid station just past 40K, Jepchirchir pushed, Kosgei couldn’t respond, and the gold medal was decided.
