Sinead Diver will take on world-class Kenyan rivals in Sunday’s Sydney marathon. But at 46, Diver is getting good at defying expectations.
With 30-degree temperatures forecast for Sunday, the advice of Sydney Marathon race director Wayne Larden was simple.
For Diver, that means stiff competition from world-class Kenyan runners, Judith Jeptum Korir and Angela Tanui.“The biggest thing about breaking the [national] record is the confidence it has given me, and I like to think I can go faster,” Diver said.Advertisement Diver has since gone from strength to strength. She was Australia’s best finisher in the Tokyo Olympic marathon in 2021, and last year in Valencia became Australia’s fastest female marathoner with a time of 2:21:34.
