Posted: April 10, 2004 Athletics: Mambo And Nurgalieva Win Two Oceans Ultra From David Monti (c) 2004 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved RaceResultsWeekly.com By Riel Hauman CAPE TOWN, RSA (10-Apr) -- Both defending champions, Mluleki Nobanda and Simona Staicu, were beaten despite being full of confidence beforehand that they could retain their titles at this 56 km ultramarathon. Rain throughout the 35th Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon made conditions unpleasant, but despite this winners Marco Mambo (ZIM) and Yelena Nurgalieva (RUS) ran the fourth and third fastest times in the history of the race. It was generally acknowledged that the quick times could be attributed mostly to the return to the traditional route over Chapman's Peak. The Nurgalieva twins finished in the same positions they filled in last year's Comrades Marathon. Four Zimbabwian men finished in the first six. Top Results: MEN - 1. Marco Mambo (ZIM), 32, 3:07:41 2. Mluleki Nobanda (RSA), 35, 3:09:57 3. Honest Mutsakani (ZIM), 34, 3:11:24 4. Simon Mphulanyane (RSA), 33, 3:11:42 5. Sipho Ncube (ZIM), 32, 3:12:00 WOMEN - 1. Yelena Nurgalieva (RUS), 28, 3:37:51 2. Olesya Nurgalieva (RUS), 28, 3:38:15 3. Azwindini Lukhwareni (RSA), 23, 3:38:56 4. Simona Staicu (HUN), 32, 3:40:52 5. Farwa Mentoor (RSA), 3:45:51 Subscribe to Race Results Weekly: www.raceresultsweekly.com.
