Braking news: Irina Mikitenko (GER) out of Olympics

August 2, 2008

On Friday night Irina Mikitenko, this years London marathon winner announced that she will not be able to run in the Beijing-marathon. The medal candidate is still in St.Moritz (SUI) but persistent back and pelvis problems that emanate into the feet make a run in this years Olympic Games impossible.

Even though this is a big shock for the German marathonscene, we wish Irina the best of luck for a fast and complete recovery.
