Kenya has the world record holders in Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid Kosgei, and both will be favorites for gold, but the Olympic marathon rarely goes to form. Here's what you need to know.

Mark your calendars, the February 19th race is something athletics fans can get excited about. The marathon WR holder Brigid Kosgei vs. the half marathon WR holder in Ababel Yeshaneh headline the women's race.
