From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Women's marathon event at the 2004 Summer Olympics took place in August 22, 2004 in the streets of Athens, Greece. World record holder Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain started as favourite for the race, and lead from the start. However, she was overtaken by Mizuki Noguchi, from Japan and Catherine Ndereba of Kenya. After dropping to fourth place, she gave up. Deena Kastor of the United States ran a conservative race to come through for a tearful bronze.
