\"italics\"<\/a>By Stuart Weiner*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israeli runner Lonah Chemtai Salpeter won the Florence Marathon Sunday in a time that shaved over 11 minutes off the previous Israeli women\u2019s record for the distance.<\/p>\n

Chemtai crossed the rain-soaked finishing line in 2:24:17, smashing the previous record of 2:35.59 set two years ago by Elena Dolinin.<\/p>\n

Chemtai already holds Israeli records for 1,500, 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meters, and the half marathon.<\/p>\n

It was only the fifth time Chemtai had competed in a marathon and set her on course to compete in the event in the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.<\/p>\n

Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev welcomed the victory, which, she said in a statement, added to Chemtai\u2019s \u201cdream year\u201d of wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cLonah Chemtai once again proves that there is no record that she can\u2019t smash and improve,\u201d Regev said. \u201cOur Londah is finishing a dream year with achievements and broken records, and in only her fifth marathon sends out a clear declaration of intent ahead of Tokyo 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chemtai made headlines in August when she won a gold medal in the 10,000 meters race at the European Championships in Berlin, but then failed to repeat her success in the 5,000 meter event when she mistakenly stopped running a lap too early after thinking she had just finished in second place.<\/p>\n

As race officials rang the bell, indicating the start of the final lap, Salpeter realized her error and sprinted off in a bold attempt to catch the leaders.<\/p>\n

The gap, however, proved too large to close and she finished in fourth place, in a time of 15:01. Despite her catastrophic pause, the time was a new Israeli record.<\/p>\n

Born in Kenya, Chemtai moved to Israel in 2011 and had been fighting for citizenship for years.<\/p>\n

She originally came to Israel in 2008, as a nanny for a diplomat at the Kenyan embassy. A keen runner, she was introduced to Israeli coach Dan Salpeter, and the two fell in love.<\/p>\n

When her stint working for the Kenyan diplomat was up, Chemtai returned to Kenya, where the couple decided to marry in hopes of later moving to Israel. They now have a young son.<\/p>\n
