Former Comrades Marathon champion and now leading road-running coach Nick Bester cannot wait for the women's Olympic marathon (42.2km) scheduled to take place in Sapporo Odori Park, Japan, on Saturday.

The two runners representing SA in the race – Gerda Steyn and Irvette van Zyl – are both coached by Bester inbelieves both Steyn and Van Zyl will fly the country's flag with pride in Tokyo.

“Irvette and Gerda are in great form. We changed the programme a little bit by making the hard sessions extremely hard, but then adding in more rest in between for them to recover well. They are both responding well to the change,” said a confident Bester in his post. While the Tokyo Games will mark Steyn's debut in the Olympics, Van Zyl is going for her second appearance and she has an unfinished business after bailing out of the race in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
