... that Girma Bekele Gebre came third at the 2019 New York City Marathon, despite not having a coach or sponsor, and having to pay to enter the race? Source: [1] ""I don’t have a sponsor," he said. “I don't have an agent. I just compete individually." "And every once in a while someone who doesn’t have his name on his bib, someone who has to pay the entry fee rather than earn an appearance fee, lands on the podium."
ALT1:... that Girma Bekele Gebre came third at the 2019 New York City Marathon, despite not starting with the elite runners? Source: [2] "It became the question of the day at the New York City Marathon, when the guy few had heard of, the one wearing an off-the-rack singlet rather than one from a fancy sponsor, claimed third place in the world’s biggest marathon.".... "These were the words of Girma Bekele Gebre, 26, an Ethiopian sub-elite runner"

Hi Joseph2302 Can I speak with you? I'd like to ask about creating an Wikipedia article about West Side Runners and Bill Staab
