Where's the freaking elite field for World's best 10k and Nagoya Marathon. It's coming up real soon!
Nagoya Marathon: Yukiko Akaba Mai ito yuri kano yurika nakamura remi nakazato mizuki noguchi yoshimi ozaki yoko shibui kaori yoshida.
Brett didn't give a complete list of who's running.
douglas burke?
Is there going to be a list of elite runners in Puerto Rico?
Why doesn't Linet Masai run cross country instead? She hates the roads.
Most of these articles are a little unclear... here they say that Sentayehu Ejigu is the women's defending champion... which is not the same as saying she was definitely going to be there to defend.

In that primerahora.com article they say... although Ejigu had participated, the favourite should be Cheruiyot (who won the race in 2010). Linet Masai (Kenya) also give strong competition, as Shalane Flanagan (USA), "said Acosta.
That would be about 6 weeks after the marathon trials for Flanagan, quite a quick turn around. So I wonder how certain it is that she makes the start line.

30:48 is her 10,000m track PB, her 10k road PB is her 31:07 from 2010. The women's course record is Paula Radcliffe, 30:21 (WR) from 2003.

the complete list is up now on brett larners site.
IAAF preview here:http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/LRR12/News/NewsDetail.aspx?id=63671Men's race:
Defending champion Kitwara, 25, will try to become the first man to win three titles on the fast Puerto Rican course, but he is likely to face strong opposition from Ethiopia’s 2011 runner-up Dejen Gebremeskel, 2011 World Cross Country champion and World 10,000m bronze medallist Imane Merga, as well as Eritrea’s Half Marathon World record holder Zersenay Tadese, who will make his debut here.
The men’s elite race features 23 African runners, including double 2010 Commonwealth Games champion Moses Kipsiro of Uganda and former 10km World record holder Micah Kogo of Kenya. With such depth, Kenyan Moses Masai’s course record of 27:19, set in 2010, is again under serious threat."
Women's race:
Cheruiyot will be joined by other top contenders, including her countrywomen Linet Masai, the 2011 World 10,000m bronze medallist, Joyce Chepkirui and US record holder Shalane Flanagan, who qualified for the London Olympics in the marathon a month ago.
There is also a page where you can check the entries.

E.g. Select Race: 10k Run - Individual
Select Sex = F, Country = KE -> GO
This finds the names of six elite Kenyan women:
F5 chepkirui, joyce 10K Run - Individual F 23 kenya, PR (KE)
F1 cheruiyot, vivian 10K Run - Individual F 28 kenya, PR (KE)
F11 gesabwa, risper 10K Run - Individual F 23 kenya, PR (KE)
F19 jepkemoi, winnie 10K Run - Individual F 18 kenya, PR (KE)
F22 kurikwiang, pauline 10K Run - Individual F 23 kenya, PR (KE)
F2 masai, linet 10K Run - Individual F 22 kenya, PR (KE)
For the men:
12 chepkok, vicent 10K Run - Individual M 23 kenya, PR (KE)
5 kiprop, wilson 10K Run - Individual M 24 kenya, PR (KE)
25 kiptoo, mark 10K Run - Individual M 35 kenya, PR (KE)
1 kitwara, sammy 10K Run - Individual M 25 kenya, PR (KE)
15 kogo, mikah 10K Run - Individual M 25 kenya, PR (KE)
18 lonyangata, paul 10K Run - Individual M 19 kenya, PR (KE)
14 masai, moses 10K Run - Individual M 26 kenya, PR (KE)
16 rotich, lucas 10K Run - Individual M 21 kenya, PR (KE)
This method is not always reliable as a search using Country = US also finds Puerto Rican runners.
However if you search for Flanagan by name, she is listed with Bib F6.
+
6 merga, imane 10K Run - Individual M 24 ethiopa, PR (ER)
11 tadese, kidane 10K Run - Individual M 25 eritrea, PR (ER)
4 tadese, zersenay 10K Run - Individual M 30 eritrea, PR (ER)
Joyce Chepkirui ran 30:38 for 10km. She needs to set a high fast pace to beat Vivian. Vivian will open a small gap in the final meters and win by 1 or 2 secs. The race will be very close.
Elite Field for Meia Marontona De Lisboa
Aberu Kebed won against a stack kenyan field last year. Aselefech can do the same. In Bangalore Edna was 8 secs down on 33:27 from Aselefech. I hope edna loses causse she has a hunch back. I want Rita Jeptoo to win. She has 1:07:08 the fastest entrant.
Edna Kiplagat, Peninah Arusei, Priscah Jepleting, Rita Jeptoo, Lynet Chepkurui,Diana Chepkemoi , Pauline Njeri Priscah Jeptoo, Peninah Kigen, Joyce Chepkirui, Njeri (Quénia), Shalane Flanagan (EUA), Nadia Ejaffini (Marrocos), Lornah Kiplagat (Holanda), Vanesa Veiga (Espanha) e Aselefech Medessa (Etiópia).
Im gonna be a pacer for 45:00, so Merga, Tadese and Kitwara are safe.
