	Runner's World New York City Marathon - Derartu Tulu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Derartu Tulu arrived in New York on Wednesday evening from Addis Ababa completely different from the athlete who was in North America a month ago for the World Half Marathon Championships in Canada, "Bronchitis, I was not good then," she explained brushing off the uncharacteristic 15th place (1:12:12).
		Tulu was initially inspired to start running by another athlete from her district who was then excelling on the domestic scene, Fatima Roba--a name we would hear of at the Atlanta Olympics (Roba won Gold), some years later.
		Tulu took the result in stride: "I did not realize what I had done, the enormity of the Olympics was not known to me." Well not until she came home to Addis and saw the tremendous news her victory had caused.

	Derartu Tulu
		The Olympic Games were held in Atlanta in 1996 and this provided Derartu Tulu with the opportunity to defend the 10000m Olympic crown she had won four years earlier in Barcelona.
		Tulu concentrated on the shorter distances in her preparation for the Olympics, winning a 5000m event at Hengelo on 27 May in a personal best of 14min 55.71sec, and then further improving that time on 3 June to 14min 50.88sec.
		However, Tulu had an indifferent outdoor season, and failed to qualify for the final of the 10000m at the World Championships in Athens when she finished only 11th in her heat in 33min 25.99sec, her fastest time of the year.

		THE OLYMPIC 10,000 metres champion, Derartu Tulu, successfully bridged the gap to the marathon here yesterday as she claimed the Flora London title in her fifth attempt at the distance despite the blundering intervention of a rogue spectator 10 metres from the finish.

		Pain registered occasionally on Tulu's face for 20 miles of a strongly contested women's event as she strove to remain in contact with Romania's Olympic marathon silver medallist, Lydia Simon, who had indicated her intention to run a time close to 2hr 20 min.

		Tulu, the Barcelona 10,000-meter champion who earned Ethiopia's first women's Olympic title, clocked two hours, 26 minutes, nine seconds in London after making a spectacular comeback from a three-year injury and maternity leave by reclaiming the cross country crown last month.
		Her 2:30:28 debut in 1997 remained her best marathon time until London, but she was determined to qualify for both the marathon and the 10,000 meters in Sydney.
		Although she has yet to qualify on the track and choose an event, Tulu's sixth-place London finish slashed more than four minutes off her previous marathon time and made her the fifth Ethiopian woman to meet the 2:33:00 Olympic entry standard that qualifiers must post in 1999 or 2000.
