[HIGHLIGHTS] "I was stupid and I want to apologize": the Briton drove part of the ultramarathon by car, but did not refuse a medal

Joasha Zakszewski finished third in the Manchester-Liverpool ultramarathon. The 47-year-old Scot covered about 4 km of the distance by car.

She did this because of pain in her leg and was about to withdraw from the race. The athlete did not inform the organizers about the violation, received a medal and was photographed with gifts at the finish line. After the truth came out, the stayer apologized for his behavior and attributed it to fatigue and jet lag.
