Possessing some of the best track credentials in the field, Russia’s Lidiya Grigoryeva has made a name for herself at the marathon distance with commanding wins at the 2007 Boston, 2006 City of Los Angeles, and 2005 Paris marathons.
She’s lowered her marathon personal best by more than seven minutes since April 2005. A two-time Russian Olympian in the 10,000 meters, Grigoryeva raced to the bronze medal at that distance in the 2006 European Championships. She was fifth at the ING New York City Marathon 2006.
