When identical twin sisters Kim and Michelle Krezonoski were invited to compete against some of the world’s most elite female runners at last week’s Boston Marathon, they were in disbelief.
“We were like, ‘Wow, did they make a mistake. Did they send out like a wrong email,’” Kim said with a laugh.
The 30-year-old Toronto athletes ended up becoming Canada’s top two female finishers at the race, which was held on April 15.
Michelle finished the race in two hours, 38 minutes, and 23 seconds, just minutes ahead of her sister, who ran the race in two hours, 40 minutes, and 50 seconds.
The pair ended up 23rd and 26th among female runners at the storied race.
“We were running together for 17 miles. So more than half of the race, we were side by side,” Michelle told CP24.com in an interview this week.
