In a race that statistician K. Ken Nakamura described as the finest marathon field since the 1984 Olympic marathon, Wilson Kipsang, the former world record holder, should play a pivotal part in this Sunday’s mens marathon. With Kenenisa Bekele, Eliud Kipchoge and Wilson Kipsang, many are forgetting about Wilson, who last year ran 2:03:13 against Kenenisa Bekele.
Wilson Kipsang won the Tokyo Marathon in the early Spring of 2017 after his second place in Berlin from September 2017.
