'Gebrselassie, Mikitenko In the Berlin Spotlight on Sunday – Berlin Marathon Preview'

http://www.iaaf.org/LRR08/news/newsid=47850.html

Includes comments by Japanese runner Toshinari Suwa of Team Nissin Shokuhin. Strangely, Suwa is mistaken. He ran against Haile Gebrselassie at the 2006 Fukuoka International Marathon, which the Ethiopian won in 2:06:52 to Suwa's 2:08:52 5th-place finish.

Suwa's teammate Kenjiro Jitsui, a veteran of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, will also be running in Berlin.
