Mayr Gets 5th World Title!
Uganda may have dominated the medal table but the star of the show at the the 30th edition of the World Mountain Running Championships was Austria’s Andrea Mayr who became the first runner to clinch five world titles in the discipline when she won in Casette di Massa, Italy, on Sunday (14).
Mayr dominated the race from the gun and won over the 8.4km course in 45:07, with a gap of 2:42 back to her the next rival, Kenya’s Lucy Murigi Wambui, to become the most successful runner in the history of the event.
