Olympic figure skating silver medalist Mao Asada ran the Honolulu Marathon in 4 hours, 34 minutes, 13 seconds, on Sunday.
Nick Symmonds, a two-time U.S. Olympic 800m runner, ran 3:00:35.
Asada, a three-time world champion from Japan who retired in April, just missed her reported goal of breaking 4:30 but beat another reported goal.
She easily went faster than older sister Mai’s reported time from the Nagoya Marathon in 2013, about five hours.
The Honolulu Marathon waws sponsored by Japan Airlines, which has put Asada’s image on the side of a plane.
