Amane Beriso Shankule is an Ethiopian marathoner whose career was reborn at the 2022 Valencia Marathon, where she stunned a deep field with a 2:14:58 winning time. The performance vaulted her to third on the all-time world list and remains her personal best.
She followed that breakthrough by winning the marathon at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest in 2:24:23, leading an Ethiopian one-two ahead of Gotytom Gebreslase. Beriso is a regular fixture in the deepest fall marathons in Europe.
Her return to elite racing in her thirties after years away from the sport is one of the more remarkable comeback stories in modern marathoning.
