Lets look at US law. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_figure) A public figure (like Pewpiedie) " A public figure (such as a politician, celebrity, or business leader) cannot base a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice (knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard for the truth).[1] The burden of proof in defamation actions is higher in the case of a public figure."
The marathoner is not a celebrity nor does she base her livelihood on being a public figure.
From a U.S. libel/slander perspective there is a clear legal distinction - its not my opinion.
