ZIMBABWE’S top marathon runner Isaac Mpofu says he tried his best under difficult and challenging conditions after finishing 19th in the Paris Olympic Games men’s marathon race yesterday.

Mpofu clocked a time of 2 hours 10 minutes 9 seconds on his Olympics debut.

The 35-year-old’s performance means that female distance runner Rutendo Nyahora who competes this morning is the country’s last hope for a medal at the 2024 Global Games.
