With prime minister Fumio Kishida having publicly confirmed yesterday that Japan will start enjoyable its inflexible border restrictions as of Mar. 1, the Mar. 6 Tokyo Marathon adopted up its earlier announcement of the home elite area for this yr’s twice-rescheduled race with the total listing of worldwide athletes scheduled to compete. Girls’s and males’s world file holders Brigid Kosgei and Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya are set to return to Japan after successful the Olympic marathon silver and gold medals in Sapporo final summer season, with backing from small however high-quality worldwide fields, the Japanese women-only and males’s marathon NR holders and half marathon NR holders, and extra.
Kosgei will face a strong listing of confirmed winners, together with final yr’s Amsterdam winner Angela Tanui (Kenya), 2019 Berlin winner Ashete Bekere (Ethiopia), 2021 Milan winner Hiwot Gebrekidan (Ethiopia), 2021 Berlin winner Gotytom Gebreslase (Ethiopia), 2020 Marathon Challenge winner Sara Corridor (U.S.A.) contemporary off a brand new NR at January’s Houston Half Marathon, and 2019 Tokyo Marathon runner-up Helen Bekele (Ethiopia), winner of the Olympic-qualifying microrace held in Belp, Switzerland final yr. Japan’s women-only NR holder Mao Ichiyama (Wacoal), 1st in Osaka final yr and 1st in Nagoya the yr earlier than, can be within the combine between Gotytom and Corridor by finest time. 2020 winner Lonah Chemtai Salpeter is chasing larger bucks in Nagoya the weekend after Tokyo, however her 2:17:45 occasion file will not go simply. 

Kipchoge’s major competitors comes from 2019 and 2020 Tokyo winner Birhanu Legese (Ethiopia) and 2019 Doha World Championships silver medalist Mosinet Geremew (Ethiopia). Kipchoge’s finest time in a respectable race since setting the two:01:39 world file in 2018 was his 2:02:37 win in London 2019, and each Birhanu and Mosinet have run inside 18 seconds of that. Mosinet and Tamirat Tola (Ethiopia) each beat Kipchoge in London 2020, and with Tola’s 2:03:39 win in Amsterdam final fall virtually a minute quicker than Kipchoge’s finest time of 2020 and 2021 he is on the listing of people that may take away a Tokyo win too.

Given the quantity of people that’ve run quicker than Wilson Kipsang‘s 2:03:58 occasion file, the possibilities are greater that we’ll see it go than the ladies’s.

As of proper now it seems to be like Tokyo will likely be making an attempt to go forward with a full mass-participation area of 25,000, even because the 20,000-runner Osaka Marathon the weekend earlier than Tokyo introduced this week that it was reducing again to an elite-only race as COVID numbers keep excessive and different races cancel outright.
