Relatively unknown yet seven-time marathon record breaker, Onneile Dintwe has emerged as ‘the silent’ dominant force in marathons. In a career spanning more than a decade, Dintwe has broken the 21.1km record seven times, although she was never remunerated for her hard work.

The feat was achieved despite Dintwe suffering a career-threatening injury which took three years to heal.

Her grip on local races came to the fore on Sunday when she clinched the 21.1km race, in the process lifting a veil of gloom after foreign runners had dominated the day at the Diacore Marathon.
