Kenya's Ruth Chepngetich beat all but two American men at the 2024 Chicago Marathon – CJ Albertson and Zach Panning.
According to the unofficial results, she's 11th overall among all of the men and women in the race with her 2:09:57 world record run.

The women's 200 metres was added to the Olympics programme at the 1948 London Games. Fanny Blankers-Koen was the 1st champion.
800m had been an inaugural women's event at 1928 Amsterdam but was withdrawn by the IOC.
