Dibaba Targets Title Defence at Tokyo Marathon

Published by Inside the Games on February 27, 2015

The event in the Japanese capital is the first of six races in the 2016 World Marathon Majors series.

Dibaba has impressed at her last two appearances in Tokyo, the 2020 Olympic Games host city, having won silver in 2014.

She was able to better that feat last year when she completed the course in 2 hours 23 min and 15 secs, with the result ensuring Ethiopian runners had won four of the nine editions of the race.
