Article here. Excerpt:

'Brigid Kosgei of Kenya won the Chicago Marathon on Sunday in 2 hours, 14 minutes, 4 seconds to break the world record in the event.

The 25-year-old Kosgei bested the previous mark of 2:15:25 set by Paula Radcliffe in London 16 years ago. She won in Chicago last year in 2:18:35.
...
Kosgei’s run came little more than 24 hours after fellow Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge became the first man to run 26.2 miles in less than two hours, clocking 1:59:41 in Vienna. Unlike Kipchoge’s performance, however, Kosgei’s mark was set in an official race on a record-eligible course.
...
Lawrence Cherono won the men’s race in 2:05:45. Ethiopia’s Dejene Debela was second in 2:05:46 and Asefa Mengstu was third in 2:05:48.'

... at these marathon reports. No matter how hard they try they can't change facts. It makes the word "win" meaningless when it's applied to the wrong person.

Men will soon be able to compete in the women's marathon, so they will establish all the records and win all the races. These men will only be women subjectively, but today that's enough.

Good bye to to women's sports, thanks to the transgender movement.
