Ethiopia's Amane Beriso has won the women's marathon at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. Beriso’s final burst with about seven kilometres to go helped her clinch her first championship race in only the 11th marathon of her career. Morocco’s national champion Fatima Gardadi ran the race of her life to finish third in 2:25:17. "The plan was to win the three medals today, but thank God we got the first two," Beriso told media after the race. I am also proud of Amane Beriso and personally I am really amazed I have won another medal at the world championships."
