An unfamiliar course, poor weather and the absence of 750,000 cheering fans suggest a world record is unlikely in Sunday's London Marathon but long-standing rivals Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele could still produce a race for the ages.
There is no getting around his official record, however, posted 2:01.39 in Berlin in 2018 to destroy the existing mark by 78 seconds and seal his position as the sport's greatest-ever over the 26.2 mile distance. Bekele, who still holds the 10,000m world record having lost his 5,000m mark last month, is 38 to Kipchoge's official 35 - though many believe the Kenyan to be several years older.
Bekele, who must have thought his podium days were over after a series of poor runs and failed finishes in the two years before his Berlin renaissance, repaid the compliment.
