Christa Vahlensieck (née Kofferschläger - 1973) (born 27 May 1949 in Düsseldorf) is a former German long distance runner and pioneer in the marathon for women. ==Biography== On 28 October 1973 in Waldniel, she became the first German woman to complete the marathon in under three hours (2:59:26; under her maiden name Christa Kofferschläger). She set another German record (2:53:00) at the Boston Marathon on 15 April 1974. Both times were also European bests. In the same year, she won the Essen Marathon in 2:42:38. The time was not recognized as a world record because the course was 745 m too short. On 3 May 1975, she succeeded at setting the world record at Dülmen with a time of 2:40:16. In the same year, she was the first German winner at the Schwarzwald Marathon in 2:45:43, a time that still stands as the course record. On 10 September 1977, her victory at the Berlin Marathon in 2:34:48 gave her another world record. At the 1983 World Championship in Helsinki she placed 19th (2:40:43). From 1973 to 1989, she won 21 marathons, among them the 1977 Berlin Marathon, five times at the Košice Peace Marathon (1981, 1984, 1986 - 1988) and the 1989 Vienna Marathon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christa Vahlensieck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
