Former world record holder Paula Radcliffe made a remarkable comeback by running her first competitive marathon in a decade at the Tokyo Marathon. At 51 years old, Radcliffe finished the marathon in 2 hours, 57 minutes, and 26 seconds. This achievement is notable, considering her former world record of 2:15:25, which was broken by Kenya's Brigid Kosgei in 2019. Radcliffe's time was still impressive, as it was faster than the winning time of Sunday's women's race, achieved by Ethiopia's Sutume Asefa Kebede with a time of 2:16:31. The men's race was won by Ethiopia's Tadese Takele in 2:03:23. Radcliffe plans to participate in the Boston Marathon next month as part of her goal to compete in all six major marathons, which include London, Boston, Tokyo, Berlin, Chicago, and New York.
