Seville Marathon Results

Rory Linkletter ans Phil Sesemann - nice job getting just under that standard

Why do they not show the nationalities

Five men made the Olympic standard from countries without 3 already. No Americans

Trials and ambitous marathon qualification times are not ideal.

How does this effect US chances of getting a 3rd?

Great run for 38 year old journeyman Daniel Meucci.

I spotted Sesseman (GBR), a Uruguayan, and a Chilean. Who are the others? Linkletter will also move up from 76 on the rankings to an auto-Q

why do you guys care so much about nationalities? aren't we all humans? patriotism and nationalism is not progressive.

Hassan and Tsegay both Sweden, new NR by Hassan.

2:08 is a hobbyjogger time

Tired...Hassan broke Tseguys previous NR. (The other guy in the list I was thinking of is Russom, but he is not a Swedish citizen although he lives in Sweden and competes for Swedish clubs etc.)

I think youi're joking, but, for purposes of Olympic qualifiers it matters who is under the auto time- it changes the Road to Paris List.

And I just like to see where they're from.

This is totally in line with his underrated WC in Budapest. People do not understand how hot it was.

why? aren't we past the era of segregating people into where they were born? isn't the world globalised enough already? many people in the olympics have a choice of which nation to compete for because there is so much emigration nowadays. and many countries give away passports to athletes to boost their medal totals. it'd be better to do away with olympics and just have a world championships type event where individual not national results matter.

The Kelvin Kiptum part of the programme was unexpectedly poignant.

Bought a tear to my eye.

Their trials were 2 weeks ago.

Top 4 men certainly are doping.

Not sure how that would work at the Olympics?
