Ukraine War Refugee Wins Jerusalem Marathon
Ukrainian athlete Valentyna Veretska, who fled Russia's invasion of her country and took refuge in Israel, on Friday won the Jerusalem marathon, race organisers said. Veretska claimed the women's title with a time of 2hr 45min 54sec, clutching the Ukrainian and Israeli flags as she crossed the finish line. The 31-year-old was one of around 40 Ukrainians who took part in the race in Jerusalem's Old City, braving unseasonably cold and wet weather.
