Women’s race: Nobody can challenge Ukraine’s Averkova
After winning Sunday’s 30th Detroit Free Press/Flagstar women’s marathon, Ukrainian (and Foot Solutions Elite Running Team member) Anzhelika Averkova, 38, can cross a few things off her to-do list. “She now can tell everybody, ‘I’ve been to Canada for a couple of minutes,’ ” Averkova said through an interpreter. Averkova had never been to Detroit before this weekend, but she felt comfortable running the course. She finished in 2:34:50 to win the $5,000 cash prize.
