BERLIN (Reuters) - Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge has the marathon world record firmly in his sights in Berlin on Sunday as he attempts a sub-two hour race. But he will have to outrun fellow record contenders Wilson Kipsang and Kenenisa Bekele to get there. Competition could not be fiercer on the famously flat and fast streets of the German capital, home to the last six marathon world records. Three-time Olympic champion Bekele, of Ethiopia, can set a huge personal record if he finishes in word record time. "I think I can run better than last year," said Bekele, who beat former world record holder Kipsang to the punch in Berlin last year.
