Am Samstagmittag (29.2.2020) sind auf einem anspruchsvollen Kurs in der ehemaligen Olympiastadt Atlanta 261 Männer und 510 Frauen für die US-amerikaníschen Olympia-Ausscheidungen qualifiziert. Davon erreichten 224 Läufer die Trials durch die Marathonnorm von 2:19 Stunden, bei den Frauen erfüllten 498 die Anforderung von 2:45 Stunden. Das sind schon in der Leistungsbreite für sich eindrucksvolle Zahlen. Leicht favorisiert – auch auf der Basis der Vorleistungen – sind bei den Männern der Bronzemedaillengewinner von Olympia 2016 in Rio de Janeiro Galen Rupp (USA) und bei den Frauen Shooting Star Jordan Hasay (USA).
Galen Rupp ist trotz langer Verletzungspause ein erster Anwärter auf den Sieg. (c) H. Winter
Beide Akteure sind zwar erst soeben von langwierigen Verletzungen genesen, was eine Einschätzung des aktuellen Leistungsvermögens schwierig macht. Aber Beide sind mit PBs von 2:06:07 beim Prag Marathon 2017 sowie von 2:20:57 beim Chicago Marathon 2017 mit den besten Vorleistungen aller Teilnehmer am Start. Neben Rupp und Hasay werden bei den Männern Leonard Korir, Scott Fauble als auch Jared Ward sowie bei den Frauen Amy Cragg, Sara Hall, Emily Simpson, Molly Huddle, Sally Kipyego und Desiree Linden als potentielle Olympia-Teilnehmer gehandelt. Dazu kommen dann noch Oldies wie Dathan Ritzenhein, Abdi Abdirahman oder Bernard Lagat. Detaillierte Angaben über typische Leistungen der wichtigsten Athleten am Start sind in den nachstehenden Tabellen aufgelistet.
