Olympic champion Dita to run in Yokohama
TOKYO (Reuters) - Romania's Olympic champion Constantina Dita will run in next month's Yokohama International Women's Marathon, organisers said on Tuesday.
Dita and Kenyan Catherine Ndereba, who took silver in last year's Beijing Games and in Athens in 2004, head the overseas athletes for the Nov. 15 race.
The Romanian became the oldest Olympic marathon winner with her sensational victory in China at 38 years of age.
