Tomorrow's Dong A Seoul marathon's elite field looks very good.

Paul Kirui (Pb 2.06.44)

Dymytro Baranovskyy ( 2.07)

Lee Bong Ju

Rodgers Rop (Former New York Champ)

Jason Mbote (2.08.13)

Bernard Barmasai (2.08.52; former world champ steeplechaser ??)

In fact there will be 17 guys who have run 2.10 or faster in tomorrow's race.

There will also be 6 sub 2.30 women running as well.

The top seeded woman is Yanan Wei (pb 2.24.02) However, last year's winner Chunxiu Zhou (pb 2.19.51, from last year's race) isn't competing.

When I hear the results I'll post them.

Wonder if they're showing it here in Japan... but after two straight weeks of "internet reporting" (Lake Biwa 3/4 and Nagoya 3/11) I'm lookin' for a day off...

Baranovskyy is due for a big win. And I think he'll win in 2.08 ish. However, look out for another new Korean; Eom Hyo Seok ( appologies if I've spelt his name incorrectly), he's only 22, he ran 62 minutes in a half marathon in Japan about 6 weeks ago (it was mentioned in mensracing). He ran 2.20 in last year's Seoul marathon,is coached by Hwang Yong Cho (92 Olympic marathon champ), and is obviously in shape to make a big breakthrough. I think he'll run between 2.11 and 2.13.

Talking about Koreans, there's another guy who could be a dark horse- Ji Young-jun. He has a pb of 2.08.43, and he is still only 25.

Anyway here is my trifecta: 1. Baranovskyy- 2.08.05 2 Jason Mbote- 2.08.30 3 Ji Young-jun 2.08 58

re: MAYEROFF

saw the iaaf results for the top 5 or whatever, but are there complete results somewhere? Frustrating because about every marathon in the U.S. Has complete results available online, looks like Seoul uses Champion Chip, wouldn't you think the results are somewhere?

I will also apologize if my inability to translate Korean resulted in my inability to find results, that would be understandable as I doubt most non-English speakers would be able to find our results.
