Russian athlete Alexandra Morozova won the women’s section of the 2022 Comrades Marathon downhill from Pietermaritzburg to Durban on Sunday.
The 32-year-old Russian defied all the odds and won the race after she had challenged her ban on Saturday. She clocked 6:17:48.
Morozova took the Comrades Marathon Association to the Pietermaritzburg High Court after she was banned from taking part in the race because of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
