Russian athlete Alexandra Morozova has been handed over her champion gold trophy and prize money following her victory in the weekend’s Comrades Marathon.

Tete Dijana won the 95th Comrades Marathon August 28, 2022.

This was after the Comrade Marathon Association implemented a last-minute directive from the World Athletics not to allow Russian athletes to compete, due to the country’s doping ban and its invasion of Ukraine. “As Comrades Marathon Association we respect the decision of the courts and we had to implement the decision of the court and you will appreciate that the runner in question participated yesterday and as part of the decision of the court was that she participate. Because she participated so she qualifies to get the prize money,” says Comrades Marathon Association chairperson Mqondisi Ngcobo.
