Johannes promoted following gold
Gold medallist Helalia Johannes has been promoted to the rank of Warrant Officer Class Two with immediate effect, after she won Namibia’s second gold medal at the recently ended 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.
The marathoner was previously a Corporal Officer in the defence force, but has now earned another post due to her sporting abilities. Johannes completed the 42.2km marathon in a time of 2 hours 32 minutes 40 seconds, to finish well ahead of second-placed Lisa Weightman of Australia (2:33:23), while another Australian, Jess Trengrove won bronze in 2:34:09.
Johannes, along with two other runners, broke away from the pack early. By the 36km mark she took the lead, and gradually increased her lead eventually winning by a comfortable margin.
