Ethiopian runner Tigst Assefa shatters women's marathon world record by over 2 minutes in Berlin

Tigst Assefa finished the Berlin Marathon in 2 hours, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds, breaking the previous record by over 2 minutes.
Eliud Kipchoge won the men's race in Berlin for the fifth time but did not break his own world record.
Assefa's record-breaking time establishes her as an Olympic contender for Ethiopia in 2024.
Environmental group Last Generation had planned to disrupt the Berlin Marathon but were prevented by police.
Assefa's record beats the previous mark of 2:14:04 set by Brigid Kosgei in 2019.
