	Fernanda Ribeiro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maria Fernanda Moreira Ribeiro (born June 23rd, 1969), a long-distance runner, born in Penafiel, Portugal.
		Fernanda made her first steps into athletics at Grupo Desportivo do Kolossal, before joining FC Porto, which she represented in 1982-1992.
		But the last 200m were something to hold the breath, as in a last-chance sprint, Fernanda passed dangerously her opponent from her left leaving Wang without reaction and with a 2nd-place confirmation.

	CNN/SI - Athletics - Ribeiro withdraws from London marathon - Wednesday April 14, 1999 02:03 PM
		Posted: Wednesday April 14, 1999 02:03 PM Ribeiro is the most recent runner to withdraw from a field plagued with defections.
		Ribeiro plans to run 10,000 metres in Spain and then possibly attempt her first marathon in Berlin later in the year.
		Ribeiro's defection should sway the odds further in favor of Kenyan Joyce Chepchumba, already favorite to win the 42.195-km event.

		Fernanda led the 6km race from the beginning, and by the time the last lap had started she was completely isolated in front, with a very comfortable margin over the Cuban Yesenia Centeno - one of the great surprises of the race - and Jelena Prokopchuka.
		At the end, Fernanda Ribeiro was not surprisingly very pleased with her victory coming on top of two good performances last week at 1500m and 3000m at the national indoor championships.
		Fernanda was the first Portuguese runner to win the Almond Blossom Cross Country since Abertina Dias in 1989.

		Wang surged twice in the 6.2-mile race, the second time with about 300 meters remaining, as she appeared to be drawing inexorably away from Fernanda Ribeiro of Portugal.
		As Wang drifted slightly wide in the final straightaway, Ribeiro came surging past her on the inside with about 50 meters remaining to win in 31 minutes 1.63 seconds, an Olympic record.
		Wang did attempt the distance double, which required her to run a preliminary round of the 10,000 meters on the day between the semifinals and final of the 5,000 meters.

		Tulu, a fl Ethiopian, is probably best remembered for taking a symbolic hand-in-hand victory lap with white South African Elana Meyer, the first South African female medalist since her country was allowed back into the Games after being banned in 1960 for its apartheid policies.
		In this race, Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain led much of the way, setting a fast pace from the start and stringing a tight pack of Tulu, countrywoman Gete Wami, Fernanda Ribeiro of Portugal, and Tegla Loroupe of Kenya behind her.
		Ribeiro (30:22.88), the 1996 champion, had to settle for bronze, while workhorse Radcliffe faded to fourth.

		Australia's Johnson has been some way short of her early year fitness when she won the World Cross-country Champs 8K but is improving race by race while Atlanta champion Fernanda Ribiero is another who isn't at her best - she was lapped by Radcliffe in her most recent 10,000m.
		Probably out of the medals but capable of a top six place are a strong Russian and Kenyan trio and the Marathon shows the Japanese cope well with the Athens conditions but none has shown the sort of form this year to threaten the Ethiopians.

		The frantic pace set by Jepchumba soon paid off and before the second kilometre the European pair — first Ribeiro and shortly afterwards Yelling - lost ground while the African trio went on with Jepchumba leading.
		The key moment came with precisely 1200 metres to go.
