Noguchi to run London Marathon

comment on the article

Japan's Olympic champion Mizuki Noguchi has confirmed she will take part in next year's London Marathon.

Noguchi, who won gold at the 2004 Games, will join Berlin champion Geta Wami and Chicago Marathon winner Berhane Adere at the 22 April event.

"I have decided to go to London because I want the opportunity to test myself against the best athletes in the world," said Noguchi.

World Road-Running Championship winner Lorna Kiplagat will also take part.

Great news on the Women's field - should be really exciting. However, the item which fascinates me most is the comment that they'll be no male pacemakers. If that stance is due to the criticism after this year, then i applaud the decision. However, I hope the stance will be maintained if / when high profile British athletes take part.
