The 2025 World Athletics Season presents several important events, including the World Athletics Indoor Championship in Nanjing, the World Athletics Championship in Tokyo, and the Diamond League. The World Athletics Relay in Guangzhou and the opening World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest also identify important events in 2025.

However, on Sunday (April 27), Maniao defended in the London marathon, and Kepalimo for the first time, Hassan and Asifa started a confrontation.

From the title Defense of Alexander Motiso Maniao, the return of Elide Capt. And Jacob Caplumo’s Saifan Hassan, the collision with Tagist Asifa and the late increase of Vivian Cheroyet – with the TCS London Marathon Stars and Story Lines on Sunday (April 27).

Many of the biggest names of the marathon running will be racing at the World Athletics Platinum Label event this weekend, all of which 2: 04 PBS and seven women who have broken 2: 20 are included with performances under 2: 17.

Along with Maniao, Capachage and Caplumo, the men’s field includes substine sau, Tamirat Tola and Dosage Mengesha, while Asfa, Hassan and Cherorate Women’s Women’s Lineups include Jaiscaline Jipkosji, Majoro Elmo and Stella Schusong.

Subsequently, the World Half Marathon Record Holder Kepalimo is launching a highly expected marathon, which will be joined by fellow Debutts Alex Yi and Elish McCollgan in the UK capital.

Kenya’s Maniao won the men’s race at 2:04:01 last year and sank twice under 2:04 – both times in Valensia – 2:03:11 in 2023. He ranked 21st at the Olympic Marathon in Paris, but started the year with 59:16 Half Marathan.

In London, he faces three people, including a high PBS. The top marathon is Great Capachage, the top London marathon winner and twice the Olympic champion, which was reduced to 2:01:09 in Berlin in 2022-this is a former world record that now holds the second place in the world’s all-time list.

Kenya’s CAPTHOW last run in London in 2020, when the program was organized in a different course due to pandemic diseases. Earlier, he won in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019, and in the years since he won Tokyo and Berlin. He returned to Tokyo last year and was ranked 10th before leaving the Olympic marathon in Paris, so now a 40 -year -old man wants to recover on the streets of the city in which he has achieved so much success.

Its light will also be on his compatriot, when it was in December after the beginning of 2:02:05 in Valencia, to see what he could do when he confronted his second marathon. Also rotated at 26:49 for 10 km.

When it comes to half marathon, Uganda’s Kepalimo is the present king. Now the world is waiting to see that it can get double distance. The 24-year-old young man is the biggest only improvement in the World Half Marathon Records to regain a world record for 56:42 runs in Barcelona in February and to lead a 48-second distance from the previous world to 48 seconds. He won the World Half Marathon in 2020, the World and Olympic bronze medals in 10,000 meters, and he is twice the World Cross Country Champion.

He is in a huge company because he steps up for 26.2 miles. In addition to the previously mentioned, Ethiopia’s Tula is the Olympic Marathon Champion and has a set in 2021 at 2:03:39, while its compatriot Manjasha runs 2:03:17 when last year’s Berlin Marathan wins.

Kenya’s thirty -three Kiplgat scored 2:02:55 runs when last year’s Tokyo marathon was second, while Ethiopia’s Mohammed ESA was runner -up in both Boston and Chicago last year, and Dutch record holder Abdi Nagay won the New York City Marathon last year.

Like Kepimo, the Olympic TriThlon champion Yi also started the expected marathon in London. The 27 -year -old won the British 10,000 -meter honor in 2018 and scored 28:07 runs in Wallonia in January.

Of the three fastest women in history, two will renew their enmity in London. Dutch star Hassan and Ethiopia’s Isfa won two places last year at the Olympic marathon, respectively, after a thrilling sprint ended, gold and silver were found, which saw Hassan Pip Asifa in Paris for only three seconds.

Now they return to London-2023 for the first time since the launch of its epic marathon and one year Asifa, the women of Paris Japacher, from runner-up, reached only the world record completion.

Asfa is sitting in second place with 2:11:53 in the World Marathon All -Time List when she wandered in Berlin in 2023. It was a world record at that time and became the first woman to become the first woman to run within 2: 13 and 2: 12. Since the World Record, Ruth Chapinich has been taken to 2:09:56.

Asfa also scored 2:15:37 runs to win in Berlin in 2022, and last year in London, his time was 2:16:23 when it ended only seven seconds from Jupiterchar. She will be looking for similar performance this time because she not only went against Hassan, who has the best performance of 2:13:44, but also Japkosji and Alimo, who completed the top four behind Isfa in London last year – the first marathon in which four women ended within 2:17.

It was acquired by 2:13:44 Hassan in Chicago in 2023, after five and a half months after its dramatic start in London, where he controlled a series of shocks to win at 2:18:33. She ranked fourth in Tokyo and became the Olympic champion in Paris, just 37 hours of bronze in 10,000 meters and six days after bronze in 5000 meters. The race will be its first on Sunday after the Olympics.

Kenya’s Japkosji run 2:16:24 and Ethiopia’s Elmo 2:16:34, and they complete the sub -2: 17 quarters participating in this year’s race. In addition to ending his third -ranked number from last year, Japkosji won the 2021 London marathon and finished the runner -up in 2022, while Elmo won Valencia Marathon in December and was second in London in 2023 and was third in 2022.

Uganda’s checker was a runner -up for Elmo on that day, where he played a national record of 2: 18:26, and earlier he was ranked eighth in the Olympic marathon.

He will join Kenya’s 2018 London Marathon Championships on the start line through Chirit, which will return to the race for the first time in five years. Recently, more than 41 -year -old Olympic and world track medalists were third in the New York City Marathon last year.

The Commonwealth Commonwealth Champion, the UK, will start in its marathon.
