With the elements against record assaults, Sihine, Bekele take Seven Hills victories

Nijmegen, The Netherlands – A rather strong eastern wind and low temperatures (5 to 7 degrees CT) produced a major hindrance to World record efforts at the 24th edition of the Zevenheuvelenloop (Seven Hills Run) over 15 kms in the eastern Dutch city of Nijmegen.
In the race itself, Bizunesh Bekele caused a big surprise by beating multiple World record holder and World champion Lornah Kiplagat. The tiny Ethiopian fighter beat the Dutchwoman Kiplagat at the finish line 47:36 to 47:37.
