She crossed the finish line with a time of 1h11min13s, breaking by two seconds a historic Brazilian national record that had stood for 35 years. In addition to that continental milestone, the distance runner took third place at the 2024 São Silvestre International Road Race and continues to collect titles and national team selections.

With consistent half marathon times and backing from brands such as ASICS, Núbia's performances are fueling excitement around her future transition to the marathon.
