Source on the "1973 marathon" bit? According to her Wikipedia page, she was a middle distance runner, and she seemed to have competed in only one race without proper gear (in 1972).
- Good catch. Many of these .world posts are Facebook-tier
  
  And many .ml posts are 4chan tier.
  
  Why do you feel that stereotyping Lemmy users according to the instance they signed up to is okay?
  
  No one forced you to be here.
- Yeah, says she was a middle-distance runner here too. Believe OP, or whoever OP got it from, got a bit confused as to the details of a marathon, which are specifically long-distance.
- If you've already looked it up, please share the link (next time) so we don't have to also look it up. I'm not going to look this one up, because I don't really care about it, but I would have clicked the link.

She has a happy and proud look on her face. Good for her!
Mmmm, lies!
