Bruce Fordyce, nine-times a champion, said on Friday there was no clear favourite in the 2013 Comrades Marathon.
The legendary runner said two male runners could take the title in the up-run between Durban and Pietermaritzburg this year.
He singled out Ludwick Mamabolo and Stephen Muzhingi.
Fordyce said the Nurgalieva twins, Elena and Olesya, will dominate in the ladies race, as usual.
“Sadly, from the point of the view of the ladies race a lot of the top contenders have been forced to withdraw with injury. Ellie Greenwood and Kami Semick, who could have given them a run for their money, are not going to be there. I think they are now the favourites.”
More than 18 000 runners are expected to take part in the 87km run.
This will be the 88th edition of the illustrious race. – EWN
