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.

In the women's race, the debuting Jecinta Nyokabi (Denso) went out fast, only to be run down by veteran Yumi Yoshikawa (Canon AC) by 10 km. Nyokabi faded to 6th in 1:10:41, but Yoshikawa pushed on to a PB 1:09:14 for the win. Rina Shimizu (Noritz), Yuna Takahashi (Shimamura) and Makoto Tsuchiya (Ritsumeikan Univ.) all broke 70 minutes, Tsuchiya taking the Kansai Region collegiate title in 1:09:32 for 4th overall. Everyone in the top 10 who wasn't debuting ran a PB, a mark of how fast the day was even with cold and windy conditions. The men's race went out on sub-61 pace courtesy of Yudai Shimazu (GMO), then got a big injection of speed when Kyuma Yokota (Toyota Kyushu) took off close to 60-flat pace. Yokota opened a 10-second lead by 15 km, but over ...
