Aiming high for 2028 Olympics, Ben Flanagan eyes Canadian title over record time in marathon debut
Canadian distance runner Ben Flanagan competes in the men’s 5,000 metres at his Olympic debut on August 7, 2024 in Paris, France.

Back in the spring, Ben Flanagan was thinking of a 2:08, 2:09 finish in his debut marathon. However, the Kitchener, Ont., athlete's priorities for Sunday's race shifted after a shorter build while recovering from a partially torn labrum in his left hip joint.
