Yemane to take on Makau in Frankfurt
Yemane Tsegay winning the Rotterdam Marathon 2012
Frankfurt, Germany - World Marathon record holder Patrick Makau will face Ethiopian Yemane Tsegay in the BMW Frankfurt Marathon on 28 October.
Besides Ethiopians Yemane Tsegay, Bazu Worku along with Kenyans Albert Matebor and Gilbert Kirwa will be running in the IAAF Gold Label Road Race. The four could provide a platform for Makau to further challenge his own World record.
"I have seen the course today and it looks very good," Makau said at a press conference in Frankfurt today. A year ago, he broke the World record clocking 2:03:38, breaking Haile Gebrselassie's record in Berlin. Patrick affirmed that "If everything is perfect on race day – my form, the weather and the pacemaking – then a world record might be possible." He also mentioned that a lot of training and especially speedwork is yet to be done in the coming weeks ahead."
Tsegay whose personal best is just 70 seconds slower than that of the World record holder. The 27-year-old Ethiopian is likely to follow any pace in Frankfurt. First, he ran 2:06:29 in Dubai in January and then made a major step when taking April's Rotterdam Marathon in 2:04:48. Tsegay replicated the same time as Makau when the latter had won the Rotterdam Marathon two years earlier.
"It is a very strong field. But I am generally not looking at any particular rivals. I always respect all the other runners in a competition," Makau told reporters.
