Excelling on both the roads and the track, Kristiansen was World Record Holder at one point for the 5,000m, 10,000m and the Marathon all at the same time!!! 🙌
Official World Bests / World Records for the Marathon didn’t kick-in until the early 2000s, however Kristiansen’s 2:21:06 remained the fastest Women’s Marathon for a remarkable 13 years from 1985 to 1998!!! ✊
We celebrate Kristiansen as the Women’s Marathon no.7 ALL-TIME!!! 🙌
