Yesterday began this competition in Qatar by a temperature of 45 degrees but not in a climatic stadium where it is possible to put between 21 to 28 degrees, depending of competition.
Anyway , in first final of Marathon women it was out of stadium in heat.
Jepgnetich won easily for Kenya before Chelimo from Bahreïn and Johanes from Namibia.
African girls were advantaged and first European from Belarus finished 5th around 3 minutes later.
40 % of girls gave up and those who finished had big problems and several were transported in golf car in rehydratation camp.
We will see in 50 km walk women and men if it was stupid to run in these conditions.
