Worknesh Degefa had a great marathon debut.
The world's richest prize money marathon didn't get the start right.
We'll be joined by Sean Hartnett - The Marathon Professor - who has seen every men's WR live since 1988.
Somebody in Dubai is going to get the biggest win of their career as there are plenty of fast women (9 under 2:25) but none with a major marathon victory.
Bekele is "confident" he can beat 2:02:57.
We break down the field in Dubai and take a look at the men who could challenge Kenenisa Bekele, including 2014 champ Tsegaye Mekonnen, 2:04 man Dino Sefir, Olympic 10k bronze medallist Tamirat Tola and half marathon stud Birhanu Legese.
Distance fans, it's time to get excited. Jos Hermens reveals that Kenenisa Bekele is healthy and going for the world record on Friday in Dubai. Bekele has his sights firmly set on Dennis Kimetto's 2:02:57 WR and plans to go out faster than any man in history. Will the weather cooperate?
With a first place prize of $200,000, that means a victory in a WR time nets you almost half a million.
Entries have swelled since his announcement. It’s not often that athletes get to share the stage with one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. There are few long distance runners with a pedigree like Kenenisa so it’s quite an honour to say you’ve competed on the same track beside the best in the business.”
