The 2012 The London Olympics are nearing a close with one big race left for Ethiopian Athletes in the men marathon. The games have produced some stunning performances so far by our amazing athletes especially by our women who have shined like the star they all over London!!

So the only thing that's in the way for Ethiopian Men to get their first Gold in this games will be their long time rivalry Kenya.

On Sunday, August 12, 2012 the XXX Olympiad will host the final - and to our belief, the most important - event of the meet, the men's marathon. The competition will be top notch with many of the fastest and best marathoners in the world in attendance. Six men who have run sub-2:05 marathoners are among the featured runners: Wilson Kipsang (KEN), Ayele Abshero (ETH), Emmanuel Mutai (KEN), Dino Sefer (ETH), Getu Feleke (ETH) and Ryan Hall (USA). They will be met by number of other decorated marathoners - some include silver medalist from the 2004 Athens Olympics Meb Keflezighi (USA), double World Champion Abel Kirui (KEN), and two-time New York City Marathon Champion Marilson dos Santos.
Thus far in 2012, Kenyans and Ethiopians own the 33 fastest times in the world, so it will be between Ethiopia and Kenya for the Gold.

The Time will be Tomorrow 6:00am ET US: 1:00pm Addis! Good luck to our athletes!!
