Berlin: World Athletics, the governing body of international track and field competitions, has ratified Ethiopian star Tigist Assefa’s women’s marathon world record of 2:11:53 set in Berlin last year. 13 women were still in contact with the lead as they reached 10km in 31:45, the World Athletics informed in a statement on Thursday.
