Chamtai Salpeter dreamed of recreating her prestigious victory in the Tokyo 2020 Marathon, so she stopped the clock at 2:17:45 hours. This result was then the sixth in nature of all time (today it is the seventh). She started the race with the leading stick. She took the lead at the sixth kilometer and after a number of changes of position returned to the first place and kept it at the 20th kilometer. After half the distance Luna was in third place.
The sticking point was reduced to eight runs and after 30 km Luna shared the first place with the favorite Kenyan Perez Gepchirchir. About ten km to the end her hat fell off and she had to continue without it. About ten km to the finish, the Kenyan world champion Ruth Chepangtic retired.
8 km to the end, the team was reduced to five runs and then to four. Luna continued without the hat to give a fight and dropped to fourth place, but did not give up. She remained stuck with the jealousy of the Kosji and Jafchirchir and American Molly Seidel. Suddenly Luna,Which was placed third, faded and signaled that she could not continue.
