Wie die Organisatoren der 39. Ausgabe des Virgin money London Marathon am 28. April 2019 gestern bekanntgaben, wird einer der Superstars der Laufszene Tirunesh Diaba (ETH) aus “persönlichen Gründen” nicht an den Start gehen. Auch der kananische Shooting Star Cum Levins (CAN) hat seine Teilnahme in London abgesagt. Die Startliste ist aber immer noch mehr als beeindruckend.
Update zu Tirunesh Dibaba:
I am very excited to announce that my husband and I are expecting our 2nd child! This means that I won’t be competing for the rest of the year but I hope with God’s help that I will return to competition next year. I want to thank my family and all my fans for their support!
