- Yes, Moneghetti finished very distressed in 48th place in 2.23.?? This is
- a very ordinary performance from him. He said that like in Tokyo last year,
- when the leaders surged, he could not go with them, a then fell apart in the
- heat. He has decided not to run any more championship or hot weather marathons,
- if any marathons at all. De Castella, is also likely to give international
- marathons away now.
- Moneghetti and Wakiihuri were running together, with Douglas insisting that
- they finish on together, however, Steve could not keep up.

- > What would the odds have been on having no East Africans in the top 10 or 15?
-
- I was not all that surprised. Africans have not done (all)
- that well in championship marathons of late, and were not a factor in the
- heat and humidity in tokyo either.
