While the two are friends (well both of them are against Yegerova- mistypo, sorry), it's not impossible szabo would go the 26.2 some day.
Only yegerova and szabo i think have the ability to crush radcliffe's field.
by the way, where are they now?
karangasem.

Are you just trying to start another bland who's on EPO thread?
no.
im really sincere asking.
is szabo going for athens?
According to a Eurosport.com interview, "Everything is focused on Athens."
I don't believe that Szabo, who is still one of the fastest 1500-meter runners in the world when she wants to be and usually favors the 5000, is going to be entertaining notions of a 26.2-mile race before the 2004 Olympics. After that, if she's still healthy, her incentive might be a few hundred thousand bucks. But what's the longest race Szabo's ever done? A 10k at the most, would be my guess.
Radcliffe said she would run 5k+10k or 10k+42.195k.
In response to Vipam's thread, I think Szabo could be the first contender to Paula. You see, she's still fresh.
Sevatonic, You are a threat to your mother if you don't get some soon.
Szabo only presents a threat to Radcliffe in the sense that Radcliffe might not lap the field with Szabo running. Radcliffe is untouchable at this point. Maybe she will come down by 2004, but if she does, Szabo likely would too.(neither of them are getting any younger)
It would be interesting to see Gabrielle running 26.2.
I'm sure that as she realizes she's not getting any younger (as Radcliffe does), she would definately going to get herself wet in 26.2. Plus with all the high-profile glittering trend among debuters, it's hard for Gab not to get wooed, not to miss this high time to start her own.
Im sure she will run 26.2 before Athens.
Karangasem.
Szabo seems much more suited for the lower distances. When she's 'right', she is a 'speedy' distance runner, who I have a hard time imagining having more success in the marathon.
you see her tiny body(suit for economic running) and biomechanism. Im sure gabriele could do a sub 2:20.
