Runner overcomes nosebleeds, wrong turn to win 42-km marathon
Belarus' Volha Mazuronak overcame nosebleeds and a late navigational error to win the women's 42-km marathon at the European Championships. The 29-year-old twice suffered nosebleeds which left her face covered in blood in the initial stages of the race in Berlin. Mazuronak later took wrong direction at a sharp turn before readjusting and beating the second-placed runner by six seconds.
