Haile G bold prediction: ""Kebede is the one to beat, no question."

That simple, eh?

Some people wouldn't consider running so erratically that they blow up and/or don't finish the race as a great performance, either.

The course record, and the WR, are determined by the time that the athlete actually crosses the finish line .... the 26.22 mile marker. They don't use a calculator and project what someone might've run had they not crashed and burned.

clearly clueless

They don't set course records and world records for the marathon by racing part of a marathon.

I hope it's a great race .. and any one of a whole bunch of athletes can win it .. as we saw last year.
