Will they return the medals, prize money Phone: 979-661-0731 and bonus money? Of course not. Meantime, a grand shuffle takes place as athletes move up the rankings and swap medals or get medals they never expected and so forth. For example, the 2012 men’s OG HJ included a three-way tie for bronze. Whoops. Now it’s a three-way tie for 2nd, that’s threw new silver medals. Two Americans wind up with gold medals, Brigetta Barrett and Erik Kynard. We’ve seen this story before. Meantime, at least 172 Russian “individuals” have submitted their names to be allowed into the next Worlds, so that charade continues as well. The IAAF and IOC left a little side door open, and the Russians, if nothing else, are shrewd at exploiting the tiniest loophole. And we now know that Russia isn’t the only renegade nation, as Kenya is quickly moving up that list. That includes the reigning Olympic champion in the women’s marathon, the first Kenyan woman to win that honor. Question: Does that distinction continue? Is she no longer the first Kenyan woman to win the Olympic marathon? She got an extra four years on her ban for lying and coverup. Then there are those who would say that TF isn’t the only sport with a drug problem, and they of course would be right. It’s how it’s handled that’s different. The MVP of Super Bowl LIII happened to just conclude a drug suspension, which he conveniently was allowed to serve at the beginning of the season while pre- serving his eligibility for the postseason and the Super Bowl.

They will also go head-to-head with a mighty contingent of international athletes led by Mo Farah, past champions Abel Kirui and Dickson Chumba, 2017 runner-up Brigid Kosgei, and two- time third-place finisher and sub-2:20 runner Birhane Dibaba. “We are thrilled with this year’s overall elite field,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “There is an incredible amount of talent and momentum on the American women’s side, and Rupp is leading a resurgence on the men’s side. These athletes are going to put on quite a show in October, and they are going to keep alive Chicago’s legacy of supporting and showcasing top U.S. athletes.” American Men’s Field Elkanah Kibet surprised race commentators during his marathon debut at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon when he bolted to the front of the elite field with 22 miles to go and put a 15-second gap on the field. The chase pack caught him at mile nine, and many suspected that Kibet’s bold move would spell disaster in the later stages of the race.

    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
