She sets her goals and expectations so high. I have no doubt that Gidey will take the crown in the marathon one day, just as she has on the track.

Experience is what she needs to break world record in the marathon

[@youngheart17]

I remember when Eliud first failed the sub-2 attempt in Monza. We all knew that he will come back stronger and wiser - and he did. Letesenbet - YOUR DAY WILL COME SOON, TOO! The WR is at hand.

Congratulations to Letesenbet Gidey on her outstanding marathon debut. Though it wasn't the result she wanted, it was a worthy performance nonetheless. Keep on working, striving, and inspiring the ladies in your country of Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Best wishes for a great 2023. Thank you for posting and all the best and greetings from the United States of America 🇺🇸.

It was her first marathon and she is already one of the fastest in history. I have no doubt that she’ll break the world record one day. She’s only 24-25, she still has a decade or so to go in her career. Can’t wait to continue this journey with her and excited to see her at the world cross country next month.

She is surrounded by a wonderful support team, beautiful to see

[@startrunstop]

We know that she can get the world record one day and it is just a matter of having a race where she feels good all 42 kilometers. Incredible debut!

Letesenbeth Gidey is such a wonderful human being, a true lady.

A sensational athlete and one who will surely take the marathon to a new level in due time.

Es espectacular su manera de correr. Una excelente atleta. Y ante todo una excelente persona. 🏃🏽‍♀️🇪🇹

[@kidgugstev6406]

She’s definitely here to stay and will snatch that record soon!

[@husseinseraj2608]

One of the best. Thanks for the video

[@patrickgerardin5001]

At that time, she brokein Valencia the record of female fastest debut marathon. Her record was broken by forty seconds earlier that year by Tigist Ketema in Dubai

Great inspiration

I do believe 2nd place is what's best for Letesenbet in her marathon career, because now is a matter of chasing her first official marathon title first, then gain enough experience to master the race so then an attempt to set a WR can happen naturally, as her progression gets better & better after each race. Letesenbet will be the female marathon WR holder in time. Cheers

2:16:50 is a perfect time for this women in her first marathon but you can not jump and say I am gonna break the record. Marathon is cleary diffirent from the other events first of all we have to understand this. If you want to a real marathoner you have to run at least 4 or 5 marathon in you carrier. We should consider the reality of the athletics.

Linda chica♥

[@jasperherr8694]

2:16 is already impressive. I get that athletes sometimes don't run the best as they had hoped for.

[@marcelomar9728]
