沒有世界記錄

以前由於馬拉松競跑是在公路上進行的，地形及氣候等不同，難以指定標準，所以沒有世界紀錄，而是以世界最佳成績來表達選手的成績記錄。直至2004年，馬拉松競跑才被允許擁有世界紀錄。

缺乏訓練仍想摘冠‧馬拉松女王飽受戰亂苦

肯雅‧內羅比）世界冠軍埃德利巴面對肯雅國內戰亂缺乏訓練，但她的信心卻不受影響，信誓旦旦要在北京奧運會女子馬拉松摘下金牌。
在2004年雅典奧運會上，埃德利巴以微差敗給日本選手野口瑞希，她說：“我沒有任何的壓力，我已經將雅典奧運會上的陰影拋諸腦後，我現在全心全意為北京奧運會冠軍奮鬥。”
許多運動員在戰亂中死亡
埃德利巴在肯雅監獄擔任接線員工作，但她有足夠的時間進行訓練。然而，肯雅國內時局動亂，很多長跑運動員都因此而死亡。
她說：“這是件很傷心的事，雖然我的親人朋友沒有1個受傷。但因為時局混亂，我已經一週沒有進行訓練了。外面的戰亂使我飽受折磨。我找不到可以訓練的地方。但是我會盡全力訓練，以達到我自己定下的目標。”
一名從1998年開始在肯雅訓練長跑的運動員說，戰亂已經嚴重影響了肯雅整個奧運代表團的訓練，特別是世界著名男子馬拉松選手勒伊和萬吉魯。
不能奪冠便是徹底失敗
埃德利巴在監獄上班的時間裡，擁有很多訓練跑步的時間。
她說：“我的工作給了我很多訓練的機會，所以我不能令他們失望。如果我不能在北京奧運會上奪得冠軍，便是一次徹底的失敗。”
在肯雅，埃德利巴被名眾暱稱為最棒的凱瑟琳，她統治馬拉松賽場已很多年，並認為自己選擇馬拉松是正確的，一定可以登上奧運會馬拉松頒獎禮的領獎台。
“每一天都是不一樣的。我一定不能空手而歸，我要為我的祖國奪回這枚女子馬拉松金牌。”

Tesco Walk

THE Tesco Walk For Life, to raise funds for the National Cancer Council (Makna), will be held at Taman Titiwangsa in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
The event is an initiative by Tesco Malaysia to support Makna's efforts in research on cancer. It is the second time Tesco Malaysia is organising such a fund-raising programme; the first was held in Penang where about 2,000 people took part.
It raised about RM45,000 for the Tesco Makna Cancer Research Fund for Life.
Tesco Malaysia chief executive officer Chris Bush said they would like everyone to take part in the event on Sunday.
“Some will do so for a personal reason; some people may be cancer survivors while others may take part in memory of, or to celebrate the lives of loved ones affected by cancer. This is an excellent opportunity to create awareness about cancer and to do something about it,'' he said.
Participants can walk, jog or run the 5km distance. Participants are encouraged to help raise the much-needed funds through a sponsorship card.
Each participant, who raises a minimum of RM50, will receive a special mystery gift from Tesco.
“We hope people of all ages and back-grounds will join us and inspire each other to complete the 5km course by walking, and having fun. Wear a fancy dress if you like but also wear the special tags to say who you are participating to capture the spirit of the ‘Walk for Life’,'' added Bush.
Registration forms are available at Tesco hypermarkets in the Klang Valley.
