Yeman Crippa achieves feat in France : the Italian triumphs at the Paris Marathon , one of the most attended in the world with almost 60 thousand participants at the start, setting a personal best of 2:05:18.
Not only that: he is the first Italian to conquer the 42.195 km of the French capital , an event that a European had not won for 24 years (the Frenchman Benoit Zwierzchiewski in 2002).
“My marathon career begins today,” the Italian exulted.
