High tension among the gentlemen

He became national marathon champion four years ago in Salzburg and last year ran a strong 2:19:41 hours to win the 3-country marathon. But above all Mario Bauerfeind was a prime candidate for victory for many. Although he only started with a personal best of 2:29:23 hours, his victory a few weeks ago at the Vienna Half Marathon with 1:05:35 hours proved that there is still enormous potential for him over the marathon distance . Also with a speculated top position for the Styrians George closetwho finished 5th last year at the Graz Marathon with a time of 2:24:50 hours.
