It must be a bitter sweet feeling to win but miss out on Olympic selection. <br />Since 2020, Yuka Ando and Mizuki Matsuda have been the most consistent high performers in marathons with their times around the 2:21-2:22 range.

A PB would be wonderful and given last year's performance it isn't out of the realms of possibility.
