Wow, I didn't think Bogomolova was ever going to be back. If it's hot she'll DNF. Otherwise she'll be in it for the win.

Men: Geb Geb.

Kara won't win, but she'll prove all you haters wrong...

re: ex-bostonite

WOW. That field is damn good. Hall definitely has no shot at the win, and will struggle for a top 5 finish.

re: Tiny State

I agree.. Very hard to call this one with such a strong field. I also agree theres no way Hall is gonna win

re: ex-bostonite

Maybe the africans should get real names??

Gebregziabher Gebremariam

Feleke Abreham Cherkos

You, sir, need to learn to respect the marathon.

re: ex-bostonite

I'm gonna call Geb Gebremariam for the win in the mens race.. Impossible to call rest of the finishing order with such a strong field. Will be interesting to see how Hall, Vega and Cragg fare as the only non-Africans in the field

Its just the ethiopians and eritreans.

The Kenyans have "real" names like John, Joseph, Charles, Mark
