It was another dominant performance from Ethiopian Tadu Nare as she won the fourth leg of the Spar 10km women's Grand Prix in Mbombela on a chilly Saturday morning.
Nare, who won the Gqeberha and Durban races, clocked 32:23 seconds ahead of second place Selam Gebre, who finished in 32:51 seconds.Nare had a clear game plan of breaking away from the pack of six with 3km left as she cruised to victory and had one hand in the Grand Prix series.
"It was tough for me. First of all, it was too cold. I tried too hard to get warm even at the beginning, but it was so cold that my body could not get warm," Nare told the media during the press conference. "When it comes to the time, I'm not happy with it, but considering the weather and ups and downs with the hills and the challenges, I'm not going to be so hard on myself. But I wanted to improve my time which I didn't and I'm not very happy about that."
