Tough Olympic marathon
Eurosport.com/Reuters

Kenyan Paul Tergat, the world's fastest marathon runner, expects his record
to remain intact at this year's Olympic Games. Tergat believes the Athens
course is so tough that the winner could finish as much as 15 minutes
outside the world mark he set in Berlin in September.

"I don't see any world record at Athens...it's impossible," he told
reporters in Rome following his appointment as an ambassador against hunger
for the World Food Programme.

"Athens is a very difficult course. It's hilly and, especially at that time
of year, humid. It's really a tactical race...At the Olympics the guy might
win in 2:20."

Tergat won the Berlin marathon in spectacular style, knocking 43 seconds
off the world record to finish in a time of two hours, four minutes and 55
seconds.

The 34-year-old has said he will retire from Kenya's national team after
the Olympics, where he has twice won 10,000 metre silver medals, but will
continue to run marathons.

"I hope I'll be around for some years to come," he said.
