London 2002 saw the debut of Haile Gebrselasse and Paula
Radcliffe.
The Men's race was meant to be a match up of the old rivals
Paul Tergat and Gebrselasse, however the man who stole the
show was Khalid Khannouchi. The Moroccan born, naturalised
American set a new World Record with a time of 2:05:38.
Radcliffe ran the 2nd fastest marathon for a woman, in winning
in 2:18:56.
The fast pace provided for the men pulled a host of athletes
behind Khannouchi to Personal Bests [ PB ]
