Although she slowed over the second half, Benoit finished in 2:22:43, more than two and a half minutes faster than Waitz had run the previous day. The aggressive retort to Waitz presaged the first women's Olympic Marathon the following year, when Benoit ran away from the field after 3 miles and Waitz finished second, more than a minute behind.Geoff Smith suffered in the heat after running the first half of the race at world record pace.
