Yelling qualified as the fastest Briton in yesterday's race and reckons she is on target to finish in the top 10 in the Chinese capital. She finished ninth in a personal best of 2hrs 28mins 33secs in a race missing the injured Radcliffe.

Yelling, 33, a training partner of Radcliffe, dismissed wearing an anti-smog face mask in Beijing and says she can turn the hot climate to her advantage.

She said: "I finished 25th in Athens and I'm better now. The heat and humidity will be a great leveller so maybe a top 10 is possible. I can deal with it."

Yesterday's women's race was won in a time of 2hrs 24mins 14secs by Germany's Irina Mikitenko. In the men's race, Dan Robinson became the first Briton to book a place in Beijing Games, finishing 13th in a personal best with a time of 2hrs 13mins 10secs.

Kenya's Martin Lel left it until the last mile to sprint away and cross the line first in a course record 2hrs 5mins 15secs.
