   Banuelia Mrashani of Tanzania wins Tokyo International Ladies Marathon (IAAF Global Athletics)
Banuelia Mrashani of Tanzania is now the first Tanzanian woman to claim victory in a major marathon. Resulting from Tokyo's International Women's Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 17th, Mrashani's time of 2:24:59 was enough to break record for the race. Following in an extremely close second was runner Rie Matsuoka by merely two seconds. The excitement began at 39km, where surging back and forth from each other became the method in overcoming what is said the most difficult part of the race. Both Mrashani and Matsuoka are satisfied with the results of this race, but their actual goal was to make it to 2003's World Championships in Paris, for which they are now anticipating.
