With races similar to cycling, the bid has detailed five races ranging from a sprint at 300m to the
endurance distance of 15km.
The line up includes both Tiki Gelana, the Ethiopian who dominated this year's Olympic Marathon, and Kenya's Edna Kiplagat, who won over the
endurance distance at last year's World Championships in Daegu.
"I was hoping to run under 2:07 but it wasn't to be," said Kamathi, who remains adamant he can prove himself over the
endurance distance.
"I was hoping to run under 2hr 7min but it wasn't to be," said Kamathi, although he remains adamant he can prove himself over the
endurance distance.
Only the eighth woman to smash 2hr 20min for the
endurance distance, she said: "Beijing is my championships focus now."
No one doubts Radcliffe, head-and-shoulders above her global rivals and originally chosen for the road running
endurance distance after winning the Flora London Marathon in April, should win that title.
