Olympic Outlook: We preview this Sunday's women's marathon and profile @ShalaneFlanagan @des_davila & @KaraGoucher:

Stagnant for the better part of two years, women’s marathoning is finally on the upswing again with six women under 2:20 in 2012 — including five who will be on the starting line in London. The favorites for the gold medal are the second- and third-fastest women in history: Kenya’s Mary Keitany, who won the 2012 London Marathon in 2:18:37, and Russia’s Liliya Shobukhova, who took the 2011 Chicago Marathon in 2:18:20. The fastest woman in history, Great Britain’s Paula Radcliffe, was forced to withdraw from the race this past Sunday due to a lingering case of osteoarthritis in her foot. Also worth keeping a close eye on is Kenyan Edna Kiplagat, the reigning world champion and 2010 New York City Marathon champion who was runner-up to Keitany in London this past spring with a 2:19:50 personal best clocking.
