2009 Flora London Statistical Information, by K. Ken Nakamura, Note by Larry Eder

Sammy Wanjiru shown here, winning in Beijing. The top three men from Beijing and women from Beijing will be contesting 2009 Flora London on April 26, 2009! Photo b Photorun.net.
This reference file was prepared by K. Ken Nakamura, one of the foremost statisticians in the world and a great friend of our sport. He prepared this and revised this after Boston and also added three notes:
a. For the first time since the 1984 Olympic Games, all six Olympic medalists in the Beijing Marathon will be competing in 2009 London.
b. Martin Lel is having an MRI on Thursday to determine if he is injured-he was hoping to get London win numero 4.
c. Sammy Wanjiru, 2008 Beijing winner is back!

Larry Eder

Larry Eder has had a 51-year involvement in the sport of athletics. Larry has experienced the sport as an athlete, coach, magazine publisher, and now, journalist and blogger. His first article, on Don Bowden, America's first sub-4 minute miler, was published in RW in 1983. Larry has published several magazines on athletics, from American Athletics to the U.S. version of Spikes magazine. He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys. Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
