I hate Paula Radcliffe!!! She's awful!! I can wait to see Yoshimi Ozaki and Yukiko Akaka take her down. She ran slower than YOshmi Ozaki. She probably won't show up the world champs. All she wants to do is run nyc marathon which doesn't mean a damm thing if you skipped osaka and do poorly in Beijing.

I don't think Paula will do well in Berlin because she hasn't run any races. She needs to stop being out of action. It ludicrous to think she's the best. Look at Nakamura! She runs races every single month She ran boulder boulder finish 3rd and was the top japanese finisher at Yamaguchi half marathon. HOw the hell does radcliffe do nothing during the whole entire 2009 season and expects to be the best when she is clearly so untested against everyone.

Shimada and Stenson Break Launceston Half CR

With great conditions at what organizers billed as the highest-label half marathon in the southern hemisphere, the only half marathon in the south with a World Athletics Elite Label or better, Japan's Teruki Shimada and Australian Commonwealth Games champ Jessica Stenson broke the men's and women's course records at the McGrath Launceston Running Festival Peppers Silo Half Marathon Sunday in Tasmania. The men's race start list read like a rematch of February's Marugame Half Marathon, with most of the 10 fastest men in the race having run there. On the Australian side was an interesting lineup of marathon NR holder Andy Buchanan , half marathon NR holder Brett Robinson , and road 10 km NR holder Sam Clifford , with Teikyo University duo Shimada and Jinya Ozaki and Rikkyo University pair Kento Baba and Hiroto Kuniyasu leading the Japanese contingent in their collective international debuts.
