Olson wins Ultra-trail Western States 100 in California

After a night start at the foot of the mountains of Lake Tahoe, California, American ultra-trail runner Caleb Olson and the first ultra-trailers of the Western States 100 completed the 161 kilometers in nearly 14 hours.  

After weaving through chilly snowfields of the Sierra Nevada mountains, runners then faced the brutal heat of canyons where temperatures neared 40 degrees Celsius. Spaniard Kilian Jornet finished in third place fifteen years after his last participation and victory. American Abby Hall wins the women's race.
