2012 Statistics - Men’s by K Ken Nakamura

Records to look for in : 1) The runners from a single nation never won both men and women’s marathon in OG. Will it change in London? 2) No nation ever swept the medal in the marathon. In fact multiple medal by a nation happened only once since 1936 (2000 when ETH won gold and bronze)
