Haile Gebrselassie continues his return to fitness after the Berlin marathon debacle, and is focused on the Tokyo Marathon, which will be held at the end of February. He needs a fast one there to be selected for the Ethiopian marathon team for London 2012.

At the Yokohama marathon, the first of four Japanese Olympic trials selection marathons, Ryoko Kazaki won in 2:26.32 over Yoshima Ozaki, the favorite, who ran 2:26.49. Mara Yamauchi, the British marathoner who resides in Japan, ran a fine 2:27.24 to get her Olympic qualifier, the temperature was quite warm (22 Celsius, 71.6 Fahrenheit).

The 13th Nike Border Clash, held today at the Nike Global campus, had the state of Washington boys and girls cross country teams dominate the Oregon boys and girls over the 4,387 meter course around the Nike campus. Details to come..
