Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I reira tonu te peke o te upoko, ā, ko ngā kākahu mā kua eke ki runga i ngā kākahu, engari ko te āhua o tōna mata he mea kāore i whakamahia e tātou i te wā o ngā whakataetae a Paula Radcliffe - he ataata māramatanga. I a ia e whakatakoto ana i te rekoata o te Ao o te 2:15.25 i te Marathon o Rānana i te Paenga-whāwhā 2003 - he wā kāore anō kia whakawehia e tētahi wahine i ngā tau 12 i muri mai - kāore he kata i tae noa ki muri i tana whiti i te raina. Waihoki i te tau 2005 i a ia e tuhi ana i tana wikitoria tuatoru, whakamutunga hoki i runga i te huarahi 26.2mile mai i Blackheath ki The Mall, i mau tonu nga kare a roto tae noa ki te mutunga. Ko te mano e tu ana i te ara o te Marautanga o Rānana e whakanui ana i a Paula Radcliffe i a ia e whakaoti ana i tana mahi whetu. Ka pakaru a Radcliffe i te mutunga o te Marathon o Rānana i te Ratapu, ko tana whakataetae whakataetae whakamutunga. Ko Radcliffe te kaipupuri rekoata o te ao mo nga tau 12, i kii ko te waa kaore i te whai kiko i tana Marathon whakamutunga o Ranana. E rere ana a Radcliffe i te Whare Taonga me tētahi hoa kaikawe i a ia e hīkoi ana i te hau. Engari ko te wa o te 2:36.55 i roto i tana marathon whakataetae whakamutunga kaore e taea te hongi mo te 41-tau-tawhito me te waewae maui e ngawari ana ano he tokotoko rino i whakaahua ia ia ano he "kore e pai ana, kaore hoki i rite mo te whakataetae". Kei roto rawa i te 2:42.00, te paerewa tohu IAAF mo nga Orimipia o Rio i te raumati e whai ake nei. Ko ngā paerewa o te British Athletics <unk> e tika ana kia kaha ake - kāore anō kia whakapuakina engari he mea noa iho nā te mea i mau tonu a Radcliffe i tēnei mō tana mahi rere rangatira. "Kare e taea e taku tinana te whakangungu i tenei taumata", ka mea ia, "I Kenya [i reira i mahi ai ia i te puni whakangungu hotoke] I kaha rawa ahau ki ahau ano ka pakaru ahau. E whakapono ana ahau i āwhina te mīharo o Rānana i ahau ki te rere tere atu i taku i kaha ai, i tika ai rānei. Ko Radcliffe te mea ki te hoatu i te uiuinga BBC i runga i te Bridge Bridge me Denise Lewis engari kaore i taea e te heptathlete o mua te pupuri. <unk>I rere ia i taku taha mo te wa iti engari he nui rawa te tangi, kaore au i hiahia ki te whakamutu na te mea i awangawanga ahau kaore e taea e taku waewae te tiimata ano.<unk> Hei utu mo te rere me nga wahine rangatira, i whiriwhiri a Radcliffe ki te wehe atu me te 37,000-te kaha...
I oti a Paula Radcliffe i te 2:36.55 engari i kii kaore te waa i te mea nui. Ko te kaipupuri rekoata o te ao i tiimata i mua o te tiimata o te tini. Kāore ia i oma noa mai i te marama o Hui-tanguru nā te whara o tōna whāriki. Ko Radcliffe te wahine 199 i oti i te whakataetae i te Ratapu. Ko ia te tuatahi ki te whiwhi i te tohu oranga o te whakataetae. I te tīmatanga o te rā, i toa a Tigist Tufa o Etiopia i te whakataetae rangatira wahine. I wikitoria a Eliud Kipchoge i te whakataetae tāne i roto i te tokotoru tuatahi o Kenya.
