West German girl sparks IAAF reform on women runners
Danx Schacfer reports on Christa Wahlensieck who ran 10,000 meters in 4 14, a time not officially recognized as a women’s world record. The piece notes IAAF’s lack of women’s event recognition, growing interest in long-distance women’s running, and Wahlensieck’s 29 year old marathon mark. It highlights coaches and advocates like Manfred Sieffay and Ernst von Aaken, and recalls Boston’s mixed-marathon history and gender barriers in sport.
