Russian Tatyana Pozdnyakova, 49, defended her title
49 years old? How competative was this race? Well, there's still hope for George Foreman.
She starts out twenty minutes before they do and she's proud of it? That's like a WNBA team starting the game with 50 more points than an NBA team.

The women were given a 20-minute head start on the men this year to even the playing field.LOL!!

This is truly an accomplishment of Title IX and abortion. What a great day for the herstory of the world. < /sarcasm>

Let me rephrase that. There's still hope for George Foreman if he boxes Ali's daughter.

Talk about asinine headlines.
Techincally, it is correct, but the implication is completely incorrect.
Lying by what is left out. . . .

She starts out twenty minutes before they do and she's proud of it?It does not say she is proud of it or favors this ridiculous head start stunt. Hope she doesn't.

Maybe the Kenyan runners didn't eat enough pasta yesterday.

The headline is bogus.
" The women were given a 20-minute head start on the men this year to even the playing field."

Kirui finished the race with an unofficial time of 2 hours, 13 minutes and 40 seconds. The women were given a 20-minute head start on the men this year to even the playing field.
So, her REAL finish time was 2 hours, 43 minutes and 40 seconds.
Thank you.
To: GulliverSwift
So let me get this straight. The top female runner was given a 20 minute headstart and managed to "beat" the top male runner by less than 20 seconds. And this is a victory? The writer should be ashamed of himself.

I agree, all you have to do is "do the math".
If they are having a battle of the sexes, then let us level the playing field by having everyone starting at the same time.
She did not win, she cheated with the assistance of the officals.
To: Steve Eisenberg
She looks pretty happy, wouldn't you say?

This is CRAP!!! She didn't really win-- she had a 20 minute head start, right?
Unbelievable.

I bet the writer must have covered the Florida recount for the Nation.

That's like a WNBA team starting the game with 50 more points than an NBA team I think what he meant to say was:
That's like a WNBA team starting the game with 50 more points than Division A Boys High School Basketball team.
There, that's better. And your comment still applies...

Yes, that's even more politically correct. Then the sexist pigs wouldn't get to stare at the dozens of female bodies for two hours.
