Ruth Chepngetich, a Kenyan athlete, broke the women's marathon world record in Chicago. Her time was 2:09:56, which is nearly 2 minutes faster than the previous record of 2:11:53. The achievement is subject to ratification.
It was really nice to run my PB and win in Chicago.
Today I was thinking about Kiptum and I said, 'Last year if he could run under 2:01, why not me?' So I had to believe in myself and try to do my best.
This year the weather was perfect and I prepared well.
I'm very proud of myself. This is my dream. I fought a lot, thinking about the world record. The world record has come back to Kenya, and I dedicate this world record to Kelvin Kiptum. I'm so happy. I don't know how to explain.
The weather was perfect and I was well-prepared. The world record was in my mind.
I've fought a lot, thinking about the world record and I have fulfilled it.
