A French fan told me that Edith Berces is a great champion. I Know, but I draw the line of expert runners if they are able to run same speed in the second half as the do in first half. So I will give my comment after 12 hours and 24 hours.
For the moment Edit is doing very good:
Women:
1. Berces (HUN) 122K5 / 10:57’
2. Kalimina (RUS) 117K5 / 10:55’
