Returning to the Olympics to defend their gold medals in the marathon are Eliud Kipchoge, who will lead the men's team, and Peres Jepchirchir, who will head the women's. Will he be successful?

It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it without significant odds. I think I'd want at least 4-1 which no book would ever offer. I think Jepchirchir has a much better shot at repeating than Kipchoge.
