Gebrselassie, who has been eyeing Olympics could only manage 2:08:17 in the race, although he was aiming for a 2hr 05min marathon finish.
From Jonathan Kang who did 3hr 09min, we know that the race was very well organised. From the press, we also realised that Tokyo Marathon is becoming comparable to London, Berlin and Chicago Marathon.
