She's awesome. Watched her interview at Boston Marathon today and she is very inspiring.

Katherine Switzer was the first women to “officially” run the Boston marathon but Roberta Louise "Bobbi" Gibb is the first woman to have run the entire Boston Marathon.
@MelodyOfMars
What a legend!
@albertoorengo9965
Not the first one. Bobby Gibb had run the previous year unregistered. My respect to both anyway.
@Ranger8744
A real show of courage in her for taking on such a dangerous move! and also, The Real hero, her boyfriend and the two other guys fighting to keep her safe the whole way👍!
@rainywoex5035
Such an inspirational story. What a wonderful and beautiful woman. Thank you so much Katherine :))
@imaninward
What makes them so insecure to have a woman running?
@walterbalinski4625
Let's not forget the woman Bobbi Gibb who ran unofficially in 1966.
@scottie328
This video description needs changed as she wasn't the first woman to run it. Just happened to be the first woman who registered who ran it. Bobbi Gibb actually ran out the year before. As well as ruining in the race with Katherine (and I believe beat her time by around an hour?).

I'm a Brazilian physical education teacher and every year I tell my students Kathrine's beautiful story.

@reubtube2463
I heard a podcast interviewing her about this today . Inspirational woman. Crazy to think that they were excluded from this but so long ago. I love seeing woman’s sport go from strength to strength these days!!
@rebeccaaustin8996
And her boyfriend and her coach are my heros too! So glad her boyfriend had her back xx
@EuroScot2023
This story title is incorrect. Roberta 'Bobbi' Gibb had run the race without registering the year before. She also ran the race in 1967 and beat Switzer's time by around 1 hour. Finally, she ran the race in 1968 and was the fastest female finisher. All three victories are now officially acknowledged by the Boston Marathon organisers and are regularly officially celebrated at the event. Gibb, incidentally, is not just a great runner but also a lawyer, scientist, author and artist and a lovely person too! Switzer was the first female registered as an entrant but the race authorities did not realise she was female as the entry had been made by her coach and used only her initials. The famous picture of the deputy race organiser trying to 'stop' Switzer running is also labelled incorrectly as what he was trying to do was tear off her runner's number since he was worried the race would lose its status if a woman ran it while registered. The BBC is usually, though not always, a pretty accurate news source but in this case they have the story seriously wrong. Facts are Facts.

I just found out this incredible story - as a young man, I look up to strong women as fine examples to follow. no need for a male figure
