(IAAF News)

The pre-race publicity for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon 2018 focused on a duel between Ethiopia´s Tirunesh Dibaba and Kenya´s Joyciline Jepkosgogei, quite rightly considering their careers and 2018 racing records, but Dibaba´s compatriot Tsehay Gemechu hadn´t read the script and flew to a course record of 1:06:50 on Sunday (21).
