LONDON (Reuters) - Fierce rivalries, rather than tumbling times, are key to maintaining the appeal of elite marathons, defending London champion Wilson Kipsang said of his showdown with world record holder Dennis Kimetto on Sunday.
Dubbed the ‘clash of the champions’ by race organisers, Kimetto, who clocked a world best two hours, two minutes, 57 seconds in September's Berlin Marathon, will make his London debut while fellow Kenyan Kipsang is seeking a third title after winning in 2012 and 2014.
