Marathon favourites: Giovanna Turchiarelli (Italy) and Severin Widmer (Switzerland) will race with the number “1”. Just three weeks before the start of the 38th BMW Berlin Marathon for inline skaters on September 24th, the field of top athletes is complete and the best male and female skaters have been given their race numbers.
All of the major stars in the skating scene will be there. These include last year’s champions Severin Widmer from Switzerland and Giovanna Turchiarelli from Italy.
Top star Joey Mantia from the USA will be at the start too, attempting to improve his course record from 2008 of 1:00:32. The Frenchman Yann Guyader should also be present in Berlin, such as his wife, the Colombian Cecilia Baena. Both skaters dominated the World scene last year.
