Indonesia doesn’t seem to be lacking in female long-distance runners with the end of the era of Triyaningsih, 32, and Odekta Elvina Naibaho, 29. A young runner from Sibolga, Pretty Sihite, 23, is ready to take up the baton. With her great talent, she may emerge as Indonesia’s future queen of marathons.
After crossing the finish line, Pretty covered her face with her hands. Not long after, she kissed the ground. She broke down in tears on the winners’ red carpet of the race. It seemed she couldn’t believe that she had won the women’s division of the Borobudur Marathon 2020 “Elite Race Powered by Bank Jateng”, her first marathon race since she became a runner in 2010.
