(Samukeliso to Defend Title At Nedbank Joburg Marathon ). All-Africa/''The Standard''. Retrieved on 2010-10-03.〕 At the Soweto Marathon near the end of the year, she was runner-up to the defending champion Mamaorolla Tjoka of Lesotho.〔Hwata, Augustine (2008-11-05). (Samukeliso Moyo Comes Second in Soweto Marathon ). All-Africa/''The Herald''. Retrieved on 2010-10-03.〕 She won at the South Africa Marathon Championships in 2009 and returned to defend her title the following year. She succeeded in winning for a second time, but the victory was a somewhat hollow one for the athlete: "I did not really enjoy the race because the level of competition was low ... Last year I had to work much harder to win. It was more like a training run this time". Moyo's comparatively slow winning time of 2:48:56 was still eleven minutes ahead of the rest of the women's field.〔Ouma, Mark (2010-10-03). (Ngamole and Moyo take South African Marathon titles ). IAAF. Retrieved on 2010-10-03.〕 She will be taking part in the 2010 Nedbank Soweto Marathon on 7 November. 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「Samukeliso Moyo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
