Tokyo Marathon 2024 Women's field Shaping Up

-
The Tokyo Marathon 2024 women's field is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory, with defending champion Rose Mary Wanjiru, world athletics champion Amane Beriso, and marathon debutant Sifan Hassan all vying for the title.

Rose Mary Wanjiru 🇰🇪, the defending champion, has been focused on this event since her disappointing 6th place finish at the world athletics championships in Budapest. With a strong support system in Japan and a personal best of 2.16.28, Wanjiru is a formidable contender for the title.

Amane Beriso  🇪🇹, the current world athletics champion, brings experience and maturity to the field at age 32. With a personal best of 2.14.58, Beriso is known for her aggressive racing style and will be a tough competitor to beat.

Sifan Hassan 🇳🇱, already considered one of the greatest female athletes of all time, is using the Tokyo Marathon as a test for her marathon debut at the Paris Olympics. With impressive wins at the London and Chicago Marathons, as well as a personal best of 2.13.44, Hassan is the favorite to win the race. Her combination of aerobic endurance and speed make her a formidable opponent for any competitor.

To beat Sifan Hassan  in this race, competitors will need to have a strategic plan in place. They will need to focus on pacing themselves and staying close to Hassan throughout the race. Additionally, they will need to be prepared for her aggressive racing style and be ready to respond to any moves she makes.

While Wanjiru, Beriso, and Hassan are the top contenders for the title, there are other athletes in the field who could potentially challenge for the win. It will be important for these athletes to stay focused and execute their race plans to the best of their abilities in order to have a chance at victory.

In conclusion, the Tokyo Marathon 2024 women's field is set to be one of the most competitive in recent memory, with top contenders like Rose Mary Wanjiru, Amane Beriso, and Sifan Hassan all vying for the title. It will be an exciting race to watch, with the potential for surprises and upsets along the way.

Woman Allegedly Found Cheating, whipped before the Village Elders in Teso South, Bungoma County

Infidelity is a sensitive issue that can cause a lot of pain and hurt in relationships. Sad enough, through a video going rounds the social media, I've watched the recent incident in Teso South, Busia, where a young lady was allegedly found cheating on her husband with a boda boda guy. The village elders decided to punish her by whipping her as a way of cleansing her house, generation, and restoring dignity to her family and husband. While infidelity is a serious issue that should not be condoned, the use of physical punishment in this case is not only archaic but also inhumane. First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that infidelity is a complex issue that cannot be solved through physical punishment. Punishing someone for cheating does not address the root causes of the behavior and does not promote healing or reconciliation in the relationship. In fact, physical punishment can further damage the relationship and cause more harm than good. It is essential t...
