Mara Yamauci, and Fran Hansall. Forgive the spelling. Its late.
But Mara Yama... she got sixth. She deserves some column inches for that, rather than the many that will be written for Paula finishing (though that was heroic in its own way). Also noble mention for Liz Yelling who ran maybe 18 miles with cracked ribs. They are mental!
And Fran Hansall balled and was thoroughly gutted for not winning a medal despite getting a new European record. Good attitude lady!
