Madison de Rozario caps emotion-charged month with Sydney marathon victory
- Australia’s Paralympic co-flag bearer dominates wheelchair race
- Brimin Misoi and Workenesh Gurmesa win able-bodied events
Wheelchair racing superstar Madison de Rozario has capped an emotion-charged few weeks with a dominant victory in the Sydney marathon, while Kenya’s Brimin Misoi and Workenesh Edesa Gurmesa of Ethiopia set the fastest times ever recorded on Australian soil in the men’s and women’s able-bodied races.
Just days after returning home from the Paris Paralympics, De Rozario crossed the finish line in one hour 54 minutes 10 seconds, more than a quarter of an hour ahead of her closest challenger, fellow Australian Christie Dawes (2:09:18).
