Yes you have the right account. // I wanted to take a moment to highlight Brigid Kosgei. The winner of this yearโs 2020 London Marathon Womenโs race in a time of 2:18:58. She demolished and I mean demolished the competition by more than 3 minutes despite cold and rainy conditions on a 19 lap course in St. James Park with no spectators. It was amazing!๐๐พ๐ Since her win, Iโve been looking forward to getting a detailed race recap from the media. I wanted to learn more about her training during a pandemic, what itโs like being away from her kids(she has twins), what it was like running loops in St. James Park, did she repeat any mantras while running the race, did she miss the crowds, and so much more. I mean this is the Worldโs fastest female marathoner and half marathoner. Unfortunately I havenโt found this information. The media coverage on her for a highly anticipated race has been abysmal. Instead they have chosen to praise and focus on the 2nd place finisher rather than the winner๐คฏ The 2nd place finisher, who sprinted to cross the finish line 3 mins after Brigid. This felt like a repeat of the Aliphine Tuliamuk coverage at this yearโs Olympic Trials. I have been hopeful that things were changing but itโs clear they are not. Itโs shameful. And please do NOT try to justify this by saying itโs because sheโs not American. Itโs BS! This the Worldโs Fastest Female Marathoner and she should be covered as such. Congratulations ๐ again @brigidkosgeithereal Thank you for inspiring me and countless others to push through obstacles and be the best! *Updated* Actions Items: - Follow @brigidkosgeithereal - If youโre a Sports Journalist, write articles about her race experience in detail. - If youโre a Podcaster or Youtuber, interview her - If youโre a fan, share her on your feed and/or stories ๐ Photos: London Marathon #brigidkosgei #londonmarathon #the40thrace #amplifymelanatedvoices #speakup #speakupspeakout https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGtgsKn11Z/?igshid=a13ekapoh7xk
