Her upward trend continued at the 2016 London Marathon as, after a battle for third with Florence Kiplagat, she took fourth place with a near two-minute improvement of 2:23:54 hours.[9] The manner of her performance was questioned by fellow runner Mara Yamauchi, as Mazuronak had run the second half of the race three minutes faster than the first – despite the first half being downhill and the second half being uphill. Her second half of the marathon was also over a minute faster than she had ever run for the half marathon. The London Marathon organisers defended Mazuronak, noting she had given a blood test for doping before the race.[10]
She finished in fifth place in the women's marathon event at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[11] 2018 saw Mazuronak win the European Athletics Championships marathon despite a nose bleed and taking the incorrect route in the last few hundred meters.[12]
