2012 London Olympic Games Men’s Marathon – Previous Head-To-Head Performances
by MarathonGuide.com Staff

The men who will be competing at the Olympics Men’s Marathon have met before. Most of our coverage follows the “Marathon Majors” races – and many of the top athletes faced off in London just four months before the Olympic Marathon and at the previous World Championships and Olympics. Others have competed with fast times and these lists show that anything can be possible on the day. While some will have been better than others on any given day – this list will show you the rise and fall of these men and how they have fared against each other over the years…
