In a riveting show of endurance and spirit, Ethiopia once again stamped its mark on the world of long-distance running. At the iconic Heroes' Square, the women's marathon witnessed an Ethiopian 1-2 finish that had fans on the edge of their seats.

Amane Beriso Shankule, the rising star in the world of marathon running, showcased her superior stamina and strategy, clinching gold with a time of 2:24:23.

While the Ethiopian duo was creating magic upfront, the race for the bronze medal saw its own share of drama.

It wasn't the best day for Israel's Lonah Chemtai Salpeter, who despite her best efforts, finished just shy of the podium at fourth place with a time of 2:25:38. Yehualaw, after her late-race struggles, secured the fifth spot at 2:26:13. Kenya's Rosemary Wanjiru rounded out the top six, finishing in 2:26:42.
