🚨 An Update on Tigst Assefa's Condition 🚨 Monday - Tigst Assefa had a successful surgical procedure performed on her right Achilles tendon following a complete rupture in the closing kilometers of the Berlin Marathon. Gianna Demadonna, Assefa's Agent, told Liam Tharme of The Athletic that Assefa will rest for two months, undergo a rehabilitation program and hopefully start walking in the third month. If the timeline persists, Assefa could start running after that third month. Assefa was on pace for a World Record in the Women's Marathon in Berlin before she visibly began limping with 2K remaining in Sunday's race. She gritted her way to the finish, despite obvious pain, crossing the line in 2:11:04, the world third fastest performance all-time. #BerlinMarathon 📸 Getty Images
