The German runner Samuel Vetoi, the national record holder at the marathon, confirmed that he would not participate in the World Cup planned in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, for his preference to participate in a large and profitable marathon in the fall.
“I will not participate in the World Cup, and I agreed with this decision with the federation, I will participate in the Great Marathon in the fall,” West told in an interview on the web of the German Athletics Federation on Tuesday.
The German champion added: “But the final decision regarding the scene has not yet been defined.”
The male male marathon should go to Tokyo on September 15, and there are expectations that other stars will make a decision similar to the decision of Samuel Vitoi.
The great Berlin marathon will pass after 6 days, followed by the Chicago marathon on October 12, and then the New York marathon on November 2, and they are from the main races in the fall of 42.295 km.
Fayt took the 15th place at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 and qualified for the World Cup when he broke a German record with two seconds, with two hours, 4 minutes and 56 seconds last December in Venice.
Veto said that over the next two years he wants to improve his number (two hours and 3 minutes), but he will not focus on achieving this goal in the fall.
“I am focusing on a good race in the fall, I want to have a good time, and I do not focus on achieving the best personal number.”
